pdftk supports named input files e.g.:

pdftk A=foo.pdf B=bar.pdf cat A B output foobar.pdf

See https://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-man-page/#dest-input-files

Note that the "cat" operation is not yet implemented in mcpdf. Does it still make sense to support named input files? What's your exact use case?

My main use case is indeed the cat operation. The named inputs are useful when one wants to do interesting things e.g.:

pdftk A=foo.pdf B=bar.pdf cat A1-2 B1-2 A3-end B3-end output foobar.pdf
