If anyone knows of an alternative, please let me > know. I don't know wip/pdftk, but your problem was interesting and I try to solve it via a simple Perl scrip. BTW, I'm not a Perl coder and I'm only a Perl and C newbie, so this is a quick & dirty script, but I tryed to do my best. ;) For this script we need only wip/p5-PDF-Reuse. I tested this script with ``The pkgsrc guide'', so this is an example: $ ftp http://www.NetBSD.org/docs/pkgsrc/pkgsrc.pdf [...] We want the Chapter 2, ``Where to get pkgsrc and how to keep it up to-date'' [...] $ ./forjeremy.pl pkgsrc.pdf 16 18 > chapter2.pdf So its usage is very simple: ./forjeremy.pl <our.pdf> <first_page> <last_page> > ourcutted.pdf HTH and good luck Jeremy! :) Ciao, Leonardo -- Leonardo Taccari (leot) | http://leot.netsons.org
