DESCRIPTION

pdfmom is a command-line tool designed for manipulating and merging PDF (Portable Document Format) files. It offers a range of functionalities, including merging multiple PDF files into a single document, reordering pages within a PDF, extracting specific pages, and more.

The utility is commonly used in scenarios where document consolidation, reorganization, or extraction is required. It provides a flexible and efficient way to perform these operations from the command line, making it suitable for both interactive use and automated scripting.

While the specific features and options available may vary depending on the version and implementation of pdfmom, the core functionality remains focused on PDF manipulation tasks. Users can customize the merging process, specify page ranges for extraction, and control the output document's structure. The syntax and options of the command can be accessed via `man pdfmom`.

CAVEATS

The exact options and functionalities of pdfmom can vary significantly depending on the specific implementation (e.g., whether it's a custom script or part of a larger PDF processing library). Error handling might not be robust in all versions. Dependencies on external PDF libraries (like pdftk or ghostscript) may exist.

USAGE EXAMPLES

Merging two PDFs into a single output file: pdfmom input1.pdf input2.pdf combined.pdf

If the option is supported reordering the pages: pdfmom -order '2,1' input.pdf output.pdf (This specific command is based on assumption since specific commands are not available without access to the man page)
