Using ranges with pdfpages fails

Question

The documentation says the following:

E.g.: pages=- will insert all pages of the document [...]

however, when I put \includepdf[pages=-]{foobar.pdf} in my LaTeX doc (compiled w/ xelatex), I get this error:

! Package pdfpages Error: Cannot find file `-'.

Similarly, just using a range like \includepdf[pages={1,3,5-last}]{foobar.pdf} results in:

 <use  "foobar.pdf" >
! Missing = inserted for \ifnum.
<to be read again> 
                   -
l.91 ...df[pages={1,3,5-last}]{foobar.pdf}

I'm using the latest pdfpages downloaded from CTAN.

Any idea where could the problem lie?

edit:
MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage[czech]{babel}
\begin{document}

\includepdf[pages={1,3-5}]{foobar.pdf}
\end{document}

Answer 1

The problem is the same as in Slovak (and Czech) babel gives problems with cmidrule and cline: the czech option to babel makes the - character into a shorthand and this disrupts the working of the pages option.

Quick fix:

\shorthandoff{-}\includepdf[pages=1,3-5]{foobar.pdf}\shorthandon{-}

Better fix:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[czech]{babel}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\usepackage{regexpatch}

\makeatletter
\xpatchparametertext{\AM@checkrange}{-}{\cA-}{}{}
\xpatchparametertext{\AM@checklast}{-}{\cA-}{}{}
\regexpatchcmd{\AM@readlisti}{-}{\cA-}{}{}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\includepdf[pages={1,3-4}]{largefrac.pdf}

\end{document}

Note that, for some reasons, the last keyword doesn't work with XeLaTeX, but specifying 3- instead of 3-last is fine.

Answer 2

I just copile this code and it work very good

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages=-]{31roegel.pdf}
\end{document}  

for the second problem use

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages={1,5-}]{31roegel.pdf}
\end{document}
