Andreas Lehmkühler closed PDFBOX-5445.
--------------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

I guess [~lmodesto.work] proposal to use the picocli feature for a huge number 
of command line arguments satisfies the main requirement to support a list 
files to be merged.
PDFBOX-5670 adds repeatable subcommands which might be handy as well.

I can't see an easy solution for the second requirement to suppress page 
breaks. It would require to re-render the whole pdf including the effort to 
find a new position for the page break.  

> Add command line options to accept file containing list of files to merge

> Users of free MBox Mail Viewer require to export hundreds of emails into PDF 
> and merge them into a single PDF document. Due to command line length  
> limitations, smaller subsets of PDF mails have to be merged first and merge 
> again multiple times. Merging must preserve order of emails. Option to accept 
> a file containing a list of PDF files to merge would be very helpful.
> Another very useful option would be suppress "Page Break" at the end of PDF 
> document to allow multiple small emails to fit on a page. Frequently, emails 
> within the same thread are small.
