Precision Page Tree Extraction
PDF documents store page hierarchies in a balanced tree structure (/Pages dict). When splitting a PDF, PDFCore Studio traverses the tree, resolves indirect object references for fonts, images, and content streams associated with the selected pages, and constructs a clean, lightweight output document with zero server uploads.
