Use Page Ranges in PyPDF2 PdfFileMerger
PdfFileMerger is a nice Python class provided by the PyPDF package. If you want to catenate multiple pages using expressions you can use a Page Range expression.
Remember to import the PageRange class
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileMerger, PageRange
then you can specify the range as a PageRange() object. For example, the range from page 131 (REMEMBER: page indices start with zero.!) to the last one:
merger.append(pdf, pages=PageRange('130:-1'))
More page range expression examples follows, if you want to play a bit with them:
: all pages. -1 last page. 22 just the 23rd page. :-1 all but the last page. 0:3 the first three pages. -2 second-to-last page. :3 the first three pages. -2: last two pages. 5: from the sixth page onward. -3:-1 third & second to last.
The third, “stride” or “step” number is also recognized.
::2 0 2 4 ... to the end. 3:0:-1 3 2 1 but not 0. 1:10:2 1 3 5 7 9 2::-1 2 1 0. ::-1 all pages in reverse order.
