Notes:
- The first form, with :qpdf:ref:`--file` and :qpdf:ref:`--range`,
was introduced in qpdf 11.9.0. In this form, the
:qpdf:ref:`--range` and :qpdf:ref:`--password` options apply to
the most recently specified :qpdf:ref:`--file` option.
- The password option is needed only for password-protected files.
If you specify the same file more than once, you only need to supply
the password the first time.

.SH PAGE-SELECTION (select pages from one or more files)
Use the --pages option to select pages from multiple files. Usage:
qpdf in.pdf --pages --file=input-file \
[--range=page-range] [--password=password] [...] -- out.pdf
OR
qpdf in.pdf --pages input-file [--password=password] [page-range] \

Between --pages and the -- that terminates pages option, repeat
the following:
--file=filename [--range=page-range] [--password=password] [options]
For compatibility, the file and range can be specified
positionally. qpdf versions prior to 11.9.0
require --password=password to immediately follow the filename. In
the older syntax, repeat the following:
