file.pdf = 1000 page original file.
1-7 = pages to be extracted
newfile.pdf = new output file (pages 1-7 of 1000)

If I have a spreadsheet with all the sequential page numbers to be extracted in one column and the corresponding filename in another column, how do I insert those into the command line and have the script work through the entire list? I would appreciate any suggestions on how this could be done easier.

(noob I know, I ask for your patience)

Thanks

Can you post ( say ...) first 10 lines of your spreadsheet file ? Exactly the way it is.
