Re: Remove part of a PDF?

[Jan Cohen <najnehoc -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Actually, you can link from an html page (or from another pdf document) to a specific page in a pdf document.  You can locate resources that describe how to do so by entering the phrase "adobe acrobat linking to pages" in Google's search tool.  

As for deleting any number or combination of pages from a pdf document, that functionality has been available in Acrobat since at least before the dotcom's bubble burst.

It's unclear what you want to do. It sounds like you want to link to
 the PDF
version of the magazine article, and only display the magazine pages
relating to the article, eliminating all the other pages of the
 magazine.
There have been a lot of suggestions of how to delete pages from a PDF
 file,
but nothing about ensuring only select pages are displayed from a
 linked PDF
that you have no control over. If that is what you are asking, I'm not
 sure
you can do it with Acrobat.
