I use qpdf for this:

to keep only pages 1-9 and pages 26 to the last page of input.pdf and save them to output.pdf.

qpdf input.pdf --pages . 1-9,26-z -- output.pdf

keep the first page and pages 100-292

qpdf input.pdf --pages . 1-1,100-292 -- output.pdf

The page range is a set of numbers separated by commas, ranges of numbers separated dashes, or combinations of those.

The character "z" represents the last page.
