Marcus Korinth commented on PDFBOX-5809:
----------------------------------------

Thank you for the explanation. 

I am going to try the alternative of first clearing everything we do not need 
from the original document.
We only need GoTo's which point to the same page and of course Links which lead 
to websites (for the splitted result files).

Thank you for suggesting PDFSam but I'd rather stay with pdfbox :D

Thanks again for your effort!

> We are using the *PDDocument#importPage* Method in our own splitter where we 
> split pages from a _SourceDocument_ to a _TargetDocument_. In order to do so 
> we first extract the page by using the following code:
> {code:java}
> final PDPage sourcePage = sourceDocument.getPage(pageNumber);
> {code}
> Immediatly afterwards we are calling:
> {code:java}
> final PDPage targetPage = targetDocument.importPage(sourcePage);
> {code}
> This approach worked just fine with *pdfbox 2.0.26*.
> We decided to upgrade to version *3.0.2* since it takles a lot of the 
> problems.
> Unfortunately the *PDDocument#importPage* method slowed down by around 1300 
> times. In Version *2.0.26* it took 15ms in an average. With the latest 
> *3.0.2* it takes 20000 ms in average. That is a huge deal breaker as we 
> usually have to split documents which have several thousand pages.
> Note: The same applies when using *PDDocument#addPage*.
> Note: The problem does not appear in *3.0.1*. But we can't use that since it 
> has other major problems which breaks our application.
> I have prepared an example document with which you can replicate the issue. 
> Due to the file size limitation I had to prepare a WeTransfer-Link for you:
