What other tool can read in pdfs and provide selecting an

Why don't you just use LibreOffice to open the pdf?
When I try opening IEEE 802.1AE-2006 pdf, it hangs. And it is only a
142pg document.
Ok, I've never tried opening one that big. And since that file is
not publicly available, I can't test it.
http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.1AE-2006.pdf
All 802 standards are available free 6 months after publication. We
802 attendees pay the IEEE for this in our conference attendance
fee.
see:
http://standards.ieee.org/about/get/
you can use pdfseparate to extract the page you're interested int,
then pdfimages to get the images on that page.
with the file you point to, for example, the image from page 86 can
be extracted like this:
pdfseparate -f 86 -l 86 8*pdf fred
pdfimages -f 1 -l 1 -png fred foo-%d
which dumps page 86 to a file named fred (I know, it should be fred.pdf)
then grabs the images from that page, creating .png file(s) named foo-<number>
all this takes only a moment. or less.
thanks!
