I am assuming the book is also a PDF... Install pdftk an then do the following (whereas in.pdf is your input document and out1.pdf will be the isolated chapter):

pdftk in.pdf cat 365-432 output out1.pdf

  • Like with any other tool that's in the repos: sudo apt-get install pdftk (I think it's in the repos, but I can't check it right now... should be though...)

  • I just double checked: pdftk is in the repos! So sudo apt-get install pdftk will work!
