Use case 1: Sometimes, we may need annotations from just a specific chapter or a few pages from here and there. This would also speed up the extraction process as all pages need not be processed.
Use case 2: New annotations are being made as one progresses through the pdf, and hence needs to process only the newer annotations.

Thanks for the suggestion. This is not an unreasonable request, but it's not my use-case so please don't hold your breath too long waiting for me to build it :)

BTW a lazy workaround for this is to use another tool (e.g. pdfjam) to extract the pages you want to process, and then feed just those pages to pdfannots along with --page-number-offset to get the right page numbers in the output.
