Looking at the document, my case looks more interesting.
As I noted, the two sets of appendices are mostly completely different.
There are 9 appendices that look like they are from the primary document
and 5 that look like they are from inserted pages. Both sets start
numbering from "A". There is one title shared between the two sets.
But the really interesting thing is that the copyright date on the
"primary" document is AFTER the date in the footers of the "inserted"
pages.
FYI - the document is Computervision CADDStation System Software
Installation.
So, any recommendations on what I should do?
Also, any recommendations on a software tool to slice and dice PDFs that
is inexpensive?

Should I create two different pdfs with different
appendix sections or
create a single pdf with both sets?
Where both old and new pages were present, and where they could be
differentiated clearly, I made a separate PDF for each manual printing.
That is, I'd have two PDFs with the same part number with different print
dates -- one containing the old (original) pages, and the other containing
the new (replacement) pages. See, for example:
/pdf/hp/64000/hardware/64161-90901_Jan-1984.pdf
/pdf/hp/64000/hardware/64161-90901_May-1984.pdf
and the update ("Manual Change Sheet"):
/pdf/hp/64000/hardware/64161-90901-MCS_May-1984.pdf
...from which the later manual was created at Bitsavers.
