Let me sumarize this thread and give some considerations: - There are several ways to split a PDF using iText. - PdfWriter splits using templates that may be nested if splits are made from splits. This is not a limitation, templates have other uses not just for simple splits. - PdfCopy can split forever without creating templates, use PdfCopy if templates inside templates are an issue. - Acrobat can read the text from a split made with nested templates, the PDF is well formed. - This is a mailing list for iText not PDFBox. If PDFBox or other tools can't read the text bring the issue to them, don't ask us why they don't work. Acrobat works correctly. - This is my last post about this non issue.

If I use other tools to split the document there is no problem to extract tools with PDfBox or with any other tool that I used. If the problem is that iText creates template inside a template and this is a limitaion of iText or this is a behavior that I can not change, please let me know.
