Hi
I have some large PDF files which I want to take out extracts (ie pages) and save as PDFs. Is there an easy free solution?

This might depend on your platform.
On MacOS, the standard PDF viewer, Preview, can delete and add pages and save the edited files back.
I don't know about Linux and Windows.

You could always simply print only certain pages to a PDF printer.

I think you probably need this: http://www.pdfsam.org/

Two ways come to mind quickly.
1/ Kword will open and edit pdf files
2/Use print to file from printer dialog and select pages you require to give ps files. Then use pstopdf from pdf utils to convert.
Have you tried PDF Hammer? You can do it through their online process...

You can use an open-source application called pdf2svg to rip individual pages to svg format. You can then edit them in Inkscape or any other svg editor.
pdf2svg is for linux, the easiest way to install it is through Ubuntu "sudo apt-get install pdf2svg" or you can download the .tar file from the link and install it on the distro of your choice. Inkscape of course is cross platform.
Another option will be appearing on the scene shortly:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Pdf_Import_Extension/Announcement
It's an extension to OpenOffice.org that sounds like it will help do what you want.
If you use OOo on Windows apparently you can preview the extension already by downloading it from here: ftp://qa-upload.services.openoffice.org/pdfimport/win32/
