Description

**Description**
It would be very helpful to have an option to exclude a list of pages from processing in Docling.
For example, sometimes PDFs contain cover pages, table of contents, or appendices that should not be parsed.

**Suggested way**
A simple parameter (e.g., `exclude_pages=[1, 2, 10]`) could be passed when processing a document.
This would allow users to skip unnecessary pages and improve performance.

**Benefit**
- Cleaner output by ignoring irrelevant sections
- Faster processing by reducing unnecessary parsing
- More flexibility for different use cases
