Ghostscript (when built with the pdfwrite driver) will copy pages from a PD=
F:

gs -DNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=3Dpdfwrite -dFirstPage=3D<N> -dLastPage=3D<M> \
-sOutputFile=3D<outfile.pdf> <infile.pdf> -c quit >/dev/null 2>&1

Where <N> and <M> are page numbers, and <outfile.pdf> and <infile.pdf>
are the output and original filename respectively.
