Answer 1

PDFMerger has this functionality, and I personally enjoy its simplicity.

$pdf = new PDFMerger;
$pdf->addPDF('pdf1.pdf','20-100');
$pdf->addPDF('pdf2.pdf','30-50');
$pdf->merge(); // output PDF, you can specify additional parameters here

Answer 2

You can do this with the combination of FPDI and FPDF.

$new_pdf = new setasign\Fpdi\FPDI();
        
for($i = 20; $i <= 200; $i++){
    $new_pdf->AddPage();
    $new_pdf->setSourceFile("source.pdf");
    $new_pdf->useTemplate($new_pdf->importPage($i));
}

$new_pdf->Output("output.pdf", "F");
