    BUG: Record Limit per Document doesn't work for PDF in CS4 - does it work in CS5?

      Hey all - I'm attempting to export 100 data merged documents to pdf.  I know i can use "Record Limit per Document" set to 1 to create 100 InDesign files, which isn't what i want to do.  When you select "Export to PDF" in the data merge window, the "record limit per document" option exists, but no matter what, it will always create one giant pdf file - it will NOT separate into 100 different pdf files.  This is a bug in CS4.

       

      I am wondering if the bug has been fixed in CS5 or if there is a workaround in CS4 to generate the pdfs.

       

      All I found is this ancient thread in which people say the only workaround is to batch convert the pdf files later, and then degenerates into unrelated discussion:
