- Merge two PDFs into one with the default suffix "joined":

`pdfjoin {{path/to/file1.pdf}} {{path/to/file2.pdf}}`

- Merge the first page of each given file together:

`pdfjoin {{path/to/file1.pdf path/to/file2.pdf ...}} {{1}} --outfile {{output_file}}`

- Save pages 3 to 5 followed by page 1 to a new PDF with custom suffix:

`pdfjoin {{path/to/file.pdf}} {{3-5,1}} --suffix {{rearranged}}`

- Merge page subranges from two PDFs:

`pdfjoin {{/path/to/file1.pdf}} {{2-}} {{file2}} {{last-3}} --outfile {{output_file}}`
