I need to read about 4 tons of some really sparse pdf specs. I also
have a rather inconvenient throwback: I feel hugely more at
home-reading documents in paper. What I'd kind of like to do would
be able to perform cut'n'paste among different pdfs, 5 pages here, 10
pages there, until I put together maybe 100-200 pages, and sit back
and read it. What I can't do is print just a few pages out of several
800-plus page specs, and perform paper cut'n'pasting.
If you find a way to 'save' only parts of a PDF document, i.e. pages
5-10, 17 and 25 in a separate file, then the ``pdfjam'' port includes
a utility called ``pdfjoin'' :)
You could print the desired pages to .ps files, use ps2pdf to convert
them and then pdfjam to combine them.
It's enough of a roundabout that I don't know if it's worth it or not.
xpdf allows printing of page ranges. I use it all the time.
