I've recently used pdftohtml to break up pdfs into pages and seperate images (jpeg/png). Editing using, for example, Open Office, and then saving as a pdf may work- I'll try it later.

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.
