I'm looking for efficient way of importing the 1000+ individual names into an InDesign document then exporting out as an individual PDFs (a 1000 page pdf wont work). One name per page.

I have created an InDesign A4 sized certificate that will be used for 1000+ names.

I'm not sure if running a script or ifs there is a batch option already in InDesign that could handle this sort of task.

I have done a certificates before (60+ names). I just made a master page and made the 'name area' editable region. This way I had to copy/paste, export each PDF per name. It took a while.

You need to start with InDesign's Data Merge feature where you import the list of names from a CSV file, overlay these onto you certificate design and automatically generate a document with 1000+ pages.

Then, to break this into individual files, there is no direct way to do that, but there are some workarounds as described here.
