This command uses a program called pdftk (PDF Toolkit) to perform specific operations on PDF files.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

${input-pdf}: This is a variable that represents the input PDF file. You need to replace ${input-pdf} with the actual file path and name of the input PDF file you want to manipulate.
cat: This is the command used to concatenate or combine PDF files.
${1-3 5 6-10}: This is a range specification that selects specific pages from the input PDF file. It will include pages 1, 2, 3, 5, and pages 6 to 10. You can modify this range to include the desired page numbers from the input PDF file.
${output-pdf}: This is a variable that represents the output PDF file. You need to replace ${output-pdf} with the actual file path and name of the output PDF file you want to create.

To use this command, you need to replace ${input-pdf} and ${output-pdf} with the appropriate file paths/names, and adapt the page range ${1-3 5 6-10} based on your specific requirements.
