[olug] Extracting single pdf pages from a 1,600 page pdf

[Matt Payne]

The PDF toolkit (http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/) that Brian W talked
about a few days ago seems to work for your sample file.  (I only spot
checked page3).

The files from bursting your five page sample are at
http://mattpayne.org/ep/ (for a few days).

The pdftk package compiled just fine for me.   

Many thanks to Brian! -Matt
