Selecting articles from a Google Book

I want to select individual articles from a Google Book which consists 
of (say) 500 pages and store them as separate PDF files. Typical article 
length is 6-20 pages.

The book out of copyright and is available as full text with scanned 
pages as images, the whole being in PDF format. I can laboriously 
download the whole file and then save to a PDF file on my PC (Windows 
XP). I can then open the saved file with Adobe Reader v8 and select 
pages one at a time and cut and paste them into pages of an Open Office 
word processor file.

There does not seem in Adobe Reader to be a way to select multiple pages 
in one go, either with a view to copying, or with a view to deleting.

Has anyone else faced this problem and come up with a simple solution
not involving procurement of expensive new software?
