Help with altering / deleting pages on a document

I was hoping someone may be able to help / point me in the right direction.

I booked some tickets to an event and received the tickets by email. Three friends now can't make it and I've been able to sell the excess tickets via an online forum.

I need to upload the tickets but have a couple of issues:

1 - There are six seats on the booking and the pdf consists of six pages (one for each). How do I separate the tickets I sold from the pdf so that I can email it to the buyer

2 - my name is on the ticket and I'd ideally like to obscure it.

My low tech solution was to print off the three relevant tickets and then cover it with a line with a marker pen before scanning and emailing.

The worry is whether rescanning the printed document will mean the tickets can't be read at the venue.:o

Please help as I don't want to send the whole pdf in case the buyer uses the tickets sold as well as mine.

thanks in advance for any advice:)

    I use pdf995's extract function to split pdf's. Not sure if there is a better way of doing it.

    Unless the event is happening very soon I would just print the pages and send them by post.

    reckon its best to leave any tickets and names intact, otherwise as the buyer I would be concerned as to whether they would be accepted.. how soon is the even? would it be best to meet the buyer on the day? Afterall you are likely to be sat nearby?
