explanation:
each source is made by:
- an optional path followed by '/'
- a file name followed by mandatory '.pdf' extension
- an optional choice preceded by ':' (default: ':1-n')
the choice is a comma-separated list of one or more intervals
each interval is made by:
- an index of a single page
- or two indexes separated by '-' (meaning first and last page)
each index is:
- a positive integer constant (leading '0's not allowed)
- or a single lowercase 'n' letter (meaning the number of pages in source file)
the target is made by:
- an optional path followed by '/'
- a file name followed by mandatory '.pdf' extension
examples:
catpdf a.pdf b.pdf c.pdf
# concatenate a.pdf and b.pdf into c.pdf
catpdf a.pdf:1-10,95-n b.pdf:50-40 c.pdf
concatenate a.pdf (first 10 pages and from page 95 until the end of file)
# and b.pdf (from page 50 backwards until page 40) into c.pdf
