I just did it using Adobe Reader.

However, I have a Mac, whose first choice is to print is to a PDF file. If I attempt this, it will fail and instruct me instead to save the 300 page book. However, the second choice is to print as a Postscript file. The icon of the Postscript file popped onto my desktop. Now I double-clicked on it, opening it in 'Preview'.

There was a long pause, for Preview automatically converts the ps page to PDF, then displays the PDF file. Then I enlarged the page to fit the margins and just pressed 'Save', and the page was saved as a nice PDF file.

I see no reason one cannot save in this manner anything one can print, such as a book chapter. (It is a bit of a kludge, however.)
