I searched for this over the internet but I did not find a working solution. I understand that it can't be done in Illustrator, but there is a need for a script. Can someone help me on this? There is pretty much artboards to export and there is a need to make separate files, that would be very helpful not to do it manually.

Are all of the PDFs going to use the same preset? Why not just export the document as 1 PDF and then separate the PDFs using Acrobat or another tool? The following script may work but it was created awhile ago - Export multiple Adobe Illustrator artboards to png, jpg, pdf – AndrewH Oct 28 '16 at 14:35

Yes, same preset. – istoby Oct 28 '16 at 14:35
I don't know which version of AI you are using, but it is very easy in the newest release of Illustrator CC.
Use the Export for Screens option
Follow these steps:
- Select PDF as the output format (1)
- Adjust your PDF settings, by clicking the gear icon (2)
- Name your artboards by clicking on the titles, because the artboard names will be used as the PDF file names (3)
Click on Export Artboard and voila! You artboards are all now saved as inidividual PDFs.
