If you simply want to build a new doc by extracting complete pages from
the original PDF, then you can extract via LaTeX and something like:
\documentclass{...}
\usepackage[final]{pdfpages}
\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages={2-8}]{original_doc_name}
\includepdf[pages={23}]{original_doc_name}
\end{document}
