    You use the CPAN module, PDF::Extract.

    Here's part one of the synopsis from the PDF::Extract Plain Old Documentation: 

    use PDF::Extract;
$pdf=new PDF::Extract;
$pdf->servePDFExtract(PDFDoc=>"c:/Docs/my.pdf", PDFPages=>"1-3 31-36")
+;

    Update: You just double-posted this question. Don't do that. Before your question shows up in Seekers of Perl Wisdom, it must be manually approved. This can take a few minutes. But your question is on record. No need to post it twice.

    What is it with this flurry of messages from India? It looks like some of these people have taken on projects they don't know how to do, and now are turning around and asking for help.
    Sorry, OT, I know.
