Thanks to Stefan for pointing out a lack of context
in my post. It's meant to relate to my earlier post
suggesting pdftk, and points out that selection of
pages is the least that pdftk can do. The list above
is just the functions I use regularly.

So, for example, at tax time each year, I run a number of
scripts that automatically collate the appropriate pages
from the mountain of monthly/quarterly documents received
or downloaded over the year.

Of course, much of this thread is moot if Gene is concerned
only with printing parts of a text file, rather than sections
of the processed marked-up document.

Cheers,
David.
