Ross McPhee commented on PDFBOX-1618:
-------------------------------------
Hi
I was hoping to use the command line tools to split a PDF into two and then
merge the result around another PDF (in affect, inserting the other PDF
part-way through the original).
However, the two split PDFs are bascially the same size as the original, even
if the split is on page 2 of a 119 page document. This has a dramatic affect
upon the resultant fie size - doubling it bascially.
Is there anyway of removing the unused references from a PDF from the command
line? I was hoping not to have to delve in to the API for this seemingly
innocuos task (inserting one PDF part-way though another).

> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 1.8.1
> Environment: Windows 7, JVM 1.6.0_29

> A PDF file is split into single pages for inclusion within another document
> (pdfbox.utils.Splitter within our code but same phenomenon observed when
> splitting using command line PDFSplit tool). Som of the pages are almost as
> large as the original file which causes performance problems for our
> customers.
> Again, I have a sample pdf to attach.
