If multiple (N) DXF files are selecred (``librecad dxf2pdf file_name1.dxf file_name2.dxf ... file_nameN.dxf``) then N PDF files are made. It is also possible to convert DXF files to PDF and put the results in a single multipage PDF ``outfile.pdf`` as follows: ``librecad dxf2pdf -o outfile.pdf file_name1.dxf file_name2.dxf ... file_nameN.dxf``.
