What did you do to the original document to create your modified version?
Why can't the TreeViewPDF tool view the Content of either my original
version or your modified version? Is it possible to make the structure of
one that doesn't convert to FlashPaper to look like the one that DOES
convert to FlashPaper using iText?

The text pasted from the PDF to the clipboard is correct. It will probably
require more investigation but not related to iText.
