With increasing page numbers extracting a certain range of pages becomes difficult.
For instance, imagine a 200 page document. I want to select them (let's say page 100 - 110) and
1) have a context menu entry labeled "Delete other pages"
-or-
2) have a context menu entry labeled "Invert selection". Then I can press the delete pages button.
As a result, pages 1 - 99 and 111 - 200 would have been deleted.
Invert selection sounds like a good idea.
(This does bring up the increasing problem of where to put these things. If you hide features in a context menu some users fail to discover the features, but if you try to put things in the button bar it quickly becomes too clutterred.)
select pages 100-110
open a new instance of PDF-Shuffler
drag and drop the selected pages into the new PDF-Shuffler window
export the document
done
I see this has been requested before, so this report might be closed in favour of the earlier report.

It's good to know there is a workaround, at least some way to do this but I guess it doesn't fit with what a few users might expect.
There's a nice basic simplicity to the shuffle user interface, hard to know how and where to add things and still keep it simple and not spoil things.
