You don't state your platform. However, we use Ghostview for this -
you pick the page numbers from a list and it extracts them to a file,
taking into account the prologs and so on. The PostScript must be DSC
compliant. We run it on workstations running VMS and various Unixes
(Unixi?) but it may well be available for DOS, OS/2, Macs etc.
