Did you grow them? Harvesting/opening the pumpkin to reveal the
seeds neatly waiting is a wonder (but somewhat time-consuming...I
wonder what the commercial process is like!?)
I would guess they shred the entire squash plant, and the seeds float
to the top of a vat of water. That's how I separated the seeds from
my pumpkin....put them in a bowl of water and nearly all the seeds
floated.
It seems to be an extremely easy process to mass produce...simply
dump in a large vat of water and skim the seeds off. Maybe one day
we'll see salted pumpkin seeds on the store shelves

They are there already - pepitas - find them in the Mexican section or
with the dried fruit and nuts.

They occasionally sell David brand salted pumpkin seeds at Walmart, K-
mart and Walgreens. Walgreens also carries some other brand (thin bag
with orange color), not quite as tasty and with added coloring (boo-hoo).
Found in the seed aisle with sunflower seeds and nuts. Never seen them
in the Mexican aisle
