John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2355:
-------------------------------------
The Splitter class has not had any attention for a while. Clearly you're the
first person to try to use the subclassing functionality it provides, and it
isn't actually possible. I've refactored the internals of Splitter and reduced
its protected API to to just 5 methods.
The createNewDocument() method can now simply call getSourceDocument() to
access the source document, and can now return a PDDocument instance which will
be added to "newDocuments" (now "destinationDocuments") internally.
As nobody else has tried using the API in this manner, please let me know how
well it works for you - we can incorporate any useful changes needed.

> The method `createNewDocument` in `Splitter` is protected, so it can be
