I have used this technique.  It offers an alternative to the pdftk tool 
mentioned in other posts.

Example:
     Original file is fred.pdf
     Target file is wilma.pdf
     We will extract pages 8 and 9

     pdftops fred.pdf - | psselect -p8-9 | ps2pdf14 - wilma.pdf

I don't know if this is easier or harder than doing the same thing with 
pdftk.
