       dered by specifying a comma separated list of ranges and individual page numbers (for example: 1,5,10-15).  In no pages are  specified  all
       the pages will be rendered.

OPTIONS
       -o output
	      The  image  format  is  deduced  from  the  output  file	name.	Embed  %d  in  the  name to indicate the page number (for example:
