Does it get better if you use the pdfpages package instead of Preview,
to extract pages from the TeXShop PDF output?
See /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/doc/latex/pdfpages/pdfpages.pdf.
Example of use (with pdfTeX of course), for extracting pages 7 then
1--4 say, separated by a blank page, of file origpdffile.pdf in the
same directory:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages={7,{},1-4}]{origpdffile}
\end{document}
