The command "pdfxup" is a command-line tool that is used to merge or stack PDF pages. It is often used to rearrange the pages in a PDF file or combine multiple PDF files into a single file.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "pdfxup" is the actual command that you are executing.

  • "-o" is an option flag that is used to specify the path to the output PDF file. You need to replace "${path-to-output-pdf}" with the actual path and file name for the resulting PDF file that will be created by the command.

  • "${path-to-input-pdf}" is a placeholder that represents the path and file name of the input PDF file. You need to replace it with the actual path and file name of the PDF file that you want to manipulate or merge.

Once you run this command with the appropriate paths and file names, the "pdfxup" tool will perform the necessary operations on the input PDF file and create a new PDF file as specified by the output path.
