There is a simple utility called pyPdf that can combine and extract pages. I
do not know how good it is with your requirements, but it also does
encryption.

There is an extension to reportlab called PageCatcher that probably does most
of what you are asking for, but I let one of the ReportLab guys respond
properly.
