Just in case you were looking for an idea on how to make pdftk a bit more user friendly, you could take this as a start. Of course there are all sorts of details to account for, like input file name, extracting a single page, trying to extract an illegal range of pages, etc. etc. etc. But that is why writing a good gui takes some time and effort. :-) 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;

my $mw = tkinit;
my ($page_start,$page_end);

$mw->Label(-text         => 'Start'    )->grid(-row => 0, -column => 0
+);
$mw->Entry(-textvariable => \$page_start    )->grid(-row => 0, -column
+ => 1);
$mw->Label(-text         => 'End'   )->grid(-row => 1, -column => 0);
$mw->Entry(-textvariable => \$page_end )->grid(-row => 1, -column => 1
+);


my $bframe = $mw->Frame(-border => 1)->grid();

my $button = $bframe->Button(-text => 'Ok', 
                 -bg => 'hotpink',
                 -command => \&get_pdfs
               )->grid();

MainLoop;
            
sub get_pdfs{                

  print "Start $page_start \t\t End $page_end\n";

#untested string concantations, but you should get the idea 
#  system ( pdftk A=100p-inputfile.pdf cat A22-36 output outfile_p22-p
+36.pdf   )
#  system ( "pdftk A=100p-inputfile.pdf cat A.$page_start-$page_end ou
+tput outfile_p$page_start-p$page_end.pdf   )
  print "Done\n";
}
