The file is split AFTER a specified\n  index. E.g. pages = {1, 2, 3, 4} and indices = [2, 3] results in {1, 2},\n  {3}, and {4}. That means an index needs to be lower than the number of\n  pages. The output files are numerated as <output>_1.pdf, <output>_2.pdf,\n  etc.\n\n  INPUT_FILE is the location of the pdf file you want to split.\n\nOptions:\n  -p, --select-pages INT PAGES  Selection of pages. Enter list of integers and\n                                ranges without spaces or wrap in quotation\n                                marks. E.g. 1,3-5,7.\n  -o, --output PATH             Optional location of the output pdf file.\n                                WARNING: overwrites existing files.\n  -a, --all                     Select every index.\n  --help                        Show this message and exit.\n\n```\n\n",
