Input Ranges

An input range may be specified after each input file. This is treated differently by different operations. For instance

extracts pages two, three, four and five from in.pdf, writing the result to out.pdf, assuming that in.pdf contains at least five pages. Here are the rules for building input ranges:

• A dash (-) defines ranges, e.g. 1-5 or 6-3.
• A comma (,) allows one to specify several ranges, e.g. 1-2,4-5.
• The word end represents the last page number.
• The words odd and even represent the odd and even pages.
• The word reverse is the same as end-1.
• The word all is the same as 1-end.
• A range must contain no spaces.
