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}
