Description

The Splitter.processPages is currently experiencing performance issue when it's used in "seek" mode with startPage > 0 and huge files.

sourceDocument.getPage;

is called on each page of the document and this method is time consuming. It may possible to move this call only for pages between start and end pages parameters.
