There are several possibilities, depending what you really want:
* \include, \includeonly (provided by LaTeX)
* package pagesel (available on CTAN)
* with ConTeX you can extract some pages AFAIK.
* a LaTeX solution is package pdfpages for extracting
  some pages (available on CTAN)
* converting to PostScript, use of psutils (psselect, ...)
  and reconverting to PDF.
