I remember someone (Rich?) mentioning a program called something like
pdftools. I'm having trouble locating same on my Xubuntu system. I've
found qpdf installed, and I found some instructions online for using it,
but following the instructions did not produce the desired results. I
have
a long pdf from which I want to extract pages 6 and 7. Here's what I
tried:
Dick,
pdftk is your friend:
pdftk january-27-2020.pdf cat 6-7 output out.pdf
Confirm that out.pdf (or whatever name you give the output) is what you
want.
In addition to pdftk (the pdf tool kit) there's pdfgrep which allows
you to
search .pdf files for strings just as grep works with text files and
pdfjam
which allows you to reformat page sizes of PDF files; e.g., you print
a web
page to a file and learn it's legal or A4 size so it won't fit on your
letter size printer paper. pdfjam allows you to resize the document to
fit.
There's also MasterPDFEditor. The free version is really helpful for many
things and the paid version allows much more manipulation.
Thanks. I'll keep those in mind.
