Description

Right now the usage of 'splitAtPage' is wrong. Let's assume there is a document with 1000pages,
startPage=238, endPage=977, splitAtPage=17 then pdfbox starts splitAtPage at page #0! This leads to the following
groups: 1, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17,
17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 8

I would have expected: 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17,
17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 9

This does not allow for example cutting out some parts of a document.
