$pdfMerger->addPDF('samplepdfs/one.pdf', '1, 3, 4');
$pdfMerger->addPDF('samplepdfs/two.pdf', '1-2');
$pdfMerger->addPDF('samplepdfs/three.pdf', 'all');

$pdfMerger->addPDF('samplepdfs/one.pdf', '1, 3, 4', 'L');
$pdfMerger->addPDF('samplepdfs/two.pdf', '1-2', 'P');

$pdfMerger->output(); //Get the output of the merged pdf

$pdfMerger->merge(); //For a normal merge (No blank page added)

$pdfMerger->duplexMerge(); //Merges your provided PDFs and adds blank pages between documents as needed to allow duplex printing

// optional parameter can be passed to the merge functions for orientation (P for protrait, L for Landscape).

$pdfMerger->save("file_path.pdf");

// OR...
$pdfMerger->save("file_name.pdf", "download");
// REPLACE 'download' WITH 'browser', 'download', 'string', or 'file' for output options
