There's no command to Extract, but you can either delete all the pages you
don't want from the document, or create a new document, insert the one page
you want and then delete the first page. I've got a couple scripts saved at
members.shaw.ca/mactech for manipulating PDF files in Acrobat. Some people
have had trouble running them with Acrobat 5 and I haven't worked with the
scripts for a bit. Just haven't had time to do some better error proofing in
them. But the concepts are laid out.

If you download the script, there's a huge property variable at the
beginning of the script that contains the raw information to create a
minimal PDF file that the script inserts the pages into. It uses the Finder
to write that data into a new PDF file as Acrobat doesn't have the ability
to simply create a new, blank PDF file.

If you need help, feel free to email me and I'll try to help you with any
problems.
