You Need acrobat Pro not reader to edit the document to fewer pages.
You can choose to print the required pages only if this helps

nope, just need snippets of info from certain pages - not the complete txt. I wanted to cut the odd parragraph and paste into word - im more comfortable using this.

The whole point of a pdf document is that data is enclosed within the file...therefore making editing very difficult...especially if you only want certain "snippetts".
It requires professional software to extract "items" within pages
can you do a screen grab and edit these? would be far easier

Make sure you have the 'text selection tool' selected as opposed to the 'hand tool'.

I'm confused as to why you need to cut, can't you just copy & paste into word ? then move or edit selections as needed

Go to File, Save As, then choose Save as text. You should be able to get the parts you need after that.
