If you have magicfilter or apsfilter set up, you can use a2ps to do this
for you
$ a2ps -1 --pages=5 foo.pdf
works as long as you have acroread, to which it delegates the file. If
you don't have acroread, I guess you could turn foo.pdf into a ps file
using pdf2ps and then use the same command as above on foo.ps
a2ps has the added advantage of being able to use it for almost any type
of file (jpg, dvi, ...)
