Extracting PDF page ranges using pdftk
Contents

, a command-line interface tool for manipulating PDFs:

Conveniently, it can be installed using sudo snap install pdftk
. I wanted to combine multiple page ranges of my big PDF file, so a note-to-self then:
$ pdftk foo.pdf cat 39-43 46-47 50 output bar.pdf
