Concur on both points. You can also use PDFBox's app "ExtractText" with -startPage and -endPage parameters: https://pdfbox.apache.org/1.8/commandline.html#extractText

I've used the command line version of PDFtk for this kind of thing in the past: https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/ I'd also recommend using Tika outside Solr rather than via the DIH: certain nasty PDFs can kill Tika, which then can kill Solr.
