With python, there's always hope.

In the CVS (sorry no distribution at the time) you'll find
an example page-extract.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pdfplayground/ppg/Exp/page-extract.py?rev=1.1&view=markup

pdfplayground is limited at the moment to PDF <= 1.4.
If you want to do more with .pdfs you'll probably need at least
a basic understanding of the PDF specification. pdfplayground
is focused at low-level .pdf (by implementation resources...).

Thomas Lotze is also preparing a pdf reader/writer project:
http://svn.thomas-lotze.de/PDFSpec/

So is David Boddie:

Wishing a happy day
