any lib to extract pages form pdf and then merge?

[oyster]

I want to extract some pages from vary pdf files, then write them
with/witout rotation into one new pdf file. something likes this
[py]
import gfx
doc = gfx.open("pdf", r"Theory.pdf")
pdf = gfx.PDF()
for pagenr in [1,5,7]:
page = doc.getPage(pagenr)

if pagenr==1:
page.rotate(90) #for some pages

pdf.startpage(page.width, page.height)
page.render(pdf)
pdf.endpage()
pdf.save("new pdf.pdf")
[/py]

I have tried pypdf, but it errs and exits on some of my pdfs(no, the
files have no password)

can someone suggest on such a lib for python on windows/or a pure C-dll?
(I mean pdf page->pdf, not pdf page->pic->pdf)

thanx

I'd recommend reportlab <URL: http://www.reportlab.org/>. It is mostly
geared towards creating new PDFs, but it is pretty much best-of-breed
AFAICT.

Maybe you could get in touch with the author to try and work around these
problems.
