thanks. actually, at that time i was concerned with taking a few pages from a much larger pdf file and saving 'em as a pdf. but this will allow assembling those saved pages into one bigun, which will be very useful to me in due course.
Extracting pages may be done with ghostscript. Actually, I never used this directly, but a very handy tool called GSview (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/), which is a rather elaborate gui to ghostscript. I've been using it for years for different tasks, e. g. to write out pdf's from MS office programs at work (GSview is available for several platforms).
It is very easy to extract even non contiguous pages from a pdf document with GSview's convert function, which in this case doesn't really convert, but calls ghostscript's "pdfwrite" to write out the selected pages.
