-1 as the 1.8.x line introduced a regression in color handling which can be seen by PDFBOX-1615. In addition there is another report of the issue with an eMail on the users mailing list "Bad image colours using new overlay code". Both files work fine using 1.7.1. I don't know (yet) which change introduced that behavior.
The issue can be reproduced by loading and saving the file so it's not because of Splitter or Overlay. Code to reproduce PDDocument document = new PDDocument.load(testfile) document.save(…) document.close(); Opening the newly saved file in Adobe Reader the colors are no longer OK.
