How to split PDF pages into separate pages?

I have a PDF document that is in booklet format (i.e., front cover and rear cover on a single page) with two pages to a single 8-1/2 X 11 page size. Is there an application that can split the double pages into separate PDF pages? I don't want to use screen capture to create separate PDF's if there is a better way.

iMac 2007 Intel Aluminum Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.8), PowerBook G4 TI Mac OS X (10.4.11)

I'm pretty sure you can open it in Preview and select one page at a time. For each page you select, do a save as (JPEG or whatever). I think there's a way to do it all at once instead of one at a time but I forget how.

Tell me if this helps.

There are a lot of utilities for PDF files so you might search at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate to see what's available. PDF Clerk and PDF Pen may let you drag each page out of the document as a separate file. Even Preview may let you do the same.
