There might not be a perfect solution for this problem, and possibly looking
only what Microsoft does also isn't the perfect solution.
I wonder: If you take the traditional workflow of extracting a few pages from a
book using a photo-copier, that would be the approach of just printing selected
pages from a PDF.  However when you extract whole pages, more than desired
would be printed, and when you would "white redact" the non-selected parts on
the first and last pages, then someone might complain that paper is wasted
(e.g. if 90% of the first page is blank, while the last page only used 10%).
"Reflowing" the text would prevent unused blank areas, but it would break
formatting.  So I have a weak tendency towards the "white-redacted PDF pages"
approach. The other advantage would probably be that automatic text references
and chapter numbers would be right.
Maybe there could also be some checkbox that toggles between "preserve page
layout and references" and "reflow text, saving paper".
