I tried your experiment with the Split tool in the iText Toolbox, splitting once at page 2, then splitting the resulting two-page second part again at page 2. Visual examination of the resulting pages suggests there would be no problem with text extraction, using my own primitive text extraction tool.
Please try using PDFBox to extract the text from the attached two-page file and see what happens. If all of the text is extracted, I think we've isolated your problem to PDFBox, rather than it's being an iText problem..

The full document (test_split1.pdf) - 3 pages The test_split1.pdf was splited to two documents by iText :Doc_0.PDF (1 page - you can see it also in the attachment) and to other document which contains the rest 2 pages. I can extract the text from Doc_0.PDF by iText. 2. I'm taking now the file that contains the 2 last pages and I'm spliting it again by iText - I failed here. You can see the file in (Doc_1.PDF). PDFBox says that extract sucessed but it returns empty string! Any help will be appreciated.
