I have a 2 page PDF called Documents/Permis.pdf (My driving license).  
I want to put the first page which has my photo in file Photo.pdf .

The command I use is  

   rprice@maria ~ mutool merge -o Photo.pdf Documents/Permis.pdf 1

The "1" says I want only the page 1. I got file Photo.pdf with my face.

Program pdfseparate could do the same job.  The command is

   rprice@maria ~ pdfseparate -f 1 -l 1 Documents/Permis.pdf Photo.%d.pdf

and again I got file Photo.1.pdf with my photo.   Roger
