Project description
###USAGE
catpdf [-h] [-V] [-v] [-y] [-n] [-o] [-q] source [source ...] target
conCATenate one or more source PDF files (or pieces of) into a target PDF file
syntax of positional arguments:
<source> ::= [<path>/]<file>.pdf[:<choice>]
<choice> ::= <interval>[,<interval>]*
<interval> ::= <index>[-<index>]
<index> ::= <integer>|n
<integer> ::= 1..9[0..9]*
<target> ::= [<path>/]<file>.pdf
explanation:
each source is made by:
an optional path followed by '/'
a file name followed by a 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 zeros 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 a mandatory '.pdf' extension
examples:
$ catpdf a.pdf b.pdf c.pdf # concatenate a.pdf and b.pdf into c.pdf
$ catpdf -y a.pdf b.pdf a.pdf # append b.pdf at end of a.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
$ catpdf sdr-?.pdf sdr.pdf # concatenate sdr-a.pdf sdr-b.pdf and sdr-c.pdf and ... into sdr.pdf
