gpdfx


gpdfx is a graphical tool to extract parts of a PDF as a PDF.

It is a GTK application written in Python using the Poppler library to render the PDF. It uses pdfTeX and PDFCrop to create the extracted PDF.

The example selection exported from the figure on the left-hand side can be viewed here.

Also make sure that the required libraries listed above are available on your system. For any Debian-based system, e.g., it should suffice to run:
