I'm running Debian 12.8.
I have a 100+ page PDF document.
I wish to extract 2 of those pages, each to their own PDF file.
I wish to edit those 2 files.
How?
[Simple question but I suspect answer may not be so simple.
What I've read confuses me.]

For convenience of future readers - these tools have been suggested to
me in this thread.
mutool - all purpose tool for dealing with PDF files
pdftk - Portable Document Format (PDF) page extractor
qpdf - PDF transformation software
xpdf - Portable Document Format (PDF) file viewer for X (xpopple)
pdfarranger - Application for PDF Merging, Rearranging, Splitting, and Cropping
pdfsam - PDF Split and Merge
The poppler-utils package includes:
pdfseparate -- page extraction tool
pdftotext -- text extraction
pdftohtml -- PDF to HTML converter
I'll try each under Debian 12.8
I could not install pdftk. I'll retry when I have updated my Debian.
