QuickPDF super simple example (was Re: Working with multi-page PDF files and automatically labeling and later extracting select pages)
Got QuickPDF working from the command window:
ox = CREATEOBJECT("DebenuPDFLibraryAX1613.PDFLibrary")
WAIT WINDOW ox.UnlockKey('mykey')
ox.LoadFromFile(GETFILE(),'')
ox.ExtractFilePages('E:\dev\somerset\downloads\594227.pdf','','C:\CRAP\test1.pdf',"1,11-12")
And that's ittell it the Source.PDF, Target.PDF, and pages you want
to extract. Done.
I ran the GhostScript example Ricardo provided and for some reason, it
kept getting a file access denied on one of the pages it generated when
it was spitting them out one by one in the leadup to the final pdf. Odd.

Re: Working with multi-page PDF files and automatically labeling and later extracting select pages
Another option available is Ghostscript. It has an exe that you can call
from the command line.
I used it once to extract text from a PDF but it can also split/merge.
Here's something I knocked up to get you started:
https://gist.github.com/medalark/31eb67305f0fec81cae1ba4a75407ac4
You need to change the four variables at the start of the program.
Also, you might need to change the reference to the Ghostscript exe. I used
the 64 bit version.

Re: Working with multi-page PDF files and automatically labeling and later extracting select pages
I've never merged or split PDFs with it but I've used it to fill in a
PDF form. Basically I create a script to run the pdftk command, store it
in a batch file and execute the batch file
STRTOFILE(m.lcFDFFile, m.lcFolder + "source.fdf")
m.lcCommand = [pdftk "] + m.lcBlankForm + [" fill_form "] +
m.lcFolder + [source.fdf" output "] + m.lcFilledForm +[" flatten drop_xfa]
* store the command in a batch file due to the 240 character limit
for run commands
m.lcBatchFile = m.lcFolder + "fillpdf.bat"
STRTOFILE(m.lcCommand, m.lcBatchFile)
*!* maybe use shellexecute
RUN ""
IF FILE(m.lcFilledForm)
m.lcFileName = JUSTFNAME(m.lcFilledForm)
IF MESSAGEBOX('The file ' + m.lcFileName + CHR(13) + 'was
successfully created.' + CHR(13) +;
'Would you like to open it now?',36,'PDF Merge
Successful') = 6
X8ShellExecute(m.lcFilledForm)
ENDIF
ELSE
MESSAGEBOX("The system encountered a problem creating the
PDF.",64,"Problem Encountered")
ENDIF

Working with multi-page PDF files and automatically labeling and later extracting select pages
Customer has a single PDF ("document") with several pages in it (let's

Customer wants to extract certain pages from this single PDF into later
email to other parties. They cannot mail the entire document because
some content isn't intended for recipients (like invoices) but they want
to be able to send other selected "component" parts and that file
attached to the email deliverable would be a SINGLE file.
