I use qpdf. Has sessions, and is fairly light weight.

Wonderful!  Pretty nice as well.  Very easy to use.  Now, it can't seem
to use lpr for printing?  That's how I print. :) But I can workaround it
by figuring out how to tell lpr to tell my printer to only print a few
pages I'm interested in and then use the command line.  Thanks for
mentioning qpdf.

I suspect I imagine wrong how things actually work. I thought perhaps
there would be a command line such as ``lpr --pages 7-14''.  Now I
believe a program like evince generates a PostScript of the pages you
asked it to and then sends this complete PostScript document of the
pages you requested to a pipe or file on disk that lpr sends to the
printer.  So, if qpdf doesn't do the same, I'm out of luck in terms of
printing with lpr.  But I think I can find a program that takes page
ranges and transformations like scaling and produces a PostScript
document that I can send to lpr, so I can use qpdfview and use the
command line to print stuff out.
