I'd like to extract some pdf images from a paper for presentation purposes. In windows, Adobe Illustrator works just fine, but I now have to perform this task in a Debian box.

The pdfimage does not meet my needs since I want vector graphics (pdf) rather than jpgs so I prefer to use Inkscape, but it does not work as expected. I hope I could use some selector tool to drag a box and select everything inside as I normally did with Illustrator, but none of the tools in Inkscape works.
If I use the 'select and transform objects' tool (the black arrow), the whole pdf page is selected while I only want a small portion; if I use the 'edit path by nodes' tool (the black triangle arrow with some nodes) I can only select a single object at a time. Drag and drop (even with the shift key pressed) does not work.
I'm wondering if there's a way to get around this, or is there a better tool in Debian to achieve the same? Thanks.
