There is a nice package called pdfpages.sty on CTAN.  If you want to
specify pages or ranges of pages on the command line you could write a
small shell or perl script that generates the .tex file for the job.

If you do not know how many pages a document has, you can use pdfinfo
which comes with xpdf.

  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
