SN74HCS595: Output current capability

Part Number: SN74HCS595

We are driving 8 LEDs through all the 8 output pins. Continous ouput current is provided as 35mA as per datasheet's absolute maximum rating. Is this value applicable for each pin or a total value for all the 8 pins? Our requirement is about 7mA for each LED that sums upto around 56mA in total output. Please check and confirm. Also Figure 6-3 represents output source current vs output resistance, I hope this is for individual pin. Please confirm.
