Password	The password to open file	Should be specified only for password-protected documents
Pages	Collection of page numbers to use in a Join operation	The first page should have number 1
StartPageNumber	Start page number	Ignored if Pages collection is not empty
EndPageNumber	End page number	Ignored if Pages collection is not empty
RangeMode	Page range mode: Even, Odd, All. The default value is All	Ignored if Pages collection is not empty
OutputPath	Path to resultant document	Required

SDKs

Using an SDK (API client) is the quickest way for a developer to speed up the development. An SDK takes care of a lot of low-level details of makingRequests and handlingResponses and lets you focus on writing code specific to your particular project. Check out our GitHub repository for a complete list of GroupDocs.Merger Cloud SDKs along with working examples, to get you started in no time. Please check the article to learn how to add an SDK to your project.
