This example shows the use of the Contiguous (..) and Noncontiguous (,) page set position wild cards to assign two pages to both a contiguous and noncontiguous range of page set positions.

The input files, refined pages, and desired page assignments are:

Input files	4x10Page.ps 5x6Page.ps
Refined pages	4x10Page.p1.pdf 5x6Page.p1.pdf
Desired page assignments	4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 5, layer 1 4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 6, layer 1 4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 7, layer 1 4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 8, layer 1 4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 9, layer 1 4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 10, layer 1 4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 17, layer 1 4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 21, layer 1 4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 27, layer 1 4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 30, layer 1 4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 31, layer 1 4x10Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 32, layer 1 5x6Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 11, layer 1 5x6Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 12, layer 1 5x6Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 13, layer 1 5x6Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 14, layer 1 5x6Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 15, layer 1 5x6Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 16, layer 1 5x6Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 18, layer 1 5x6Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 19, layer 1 5x6Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 20, layer 1 5x6Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 25, layer 1 5x6Page.p1.pdf to OneFileToBothRanges page set, position 29, layer 1
