/*
 * Split a document into smaller parts based on some page contents. Various
 * criteria for the split points could be useful. The splitting could for
 * example be done
 * 
 * - after each empty page
 * - when certain text appears on the page (e.g. "Address"). The text could be
 *   visible on the page, or it could serve as a hidden marker (e.g. invisible
 *   text or text outside the CropBox)
 * 
 * The example below uses the latter approach. The input document "invoices.pdf"
 * contains a sequence of invoices. Each invoice has one or more pages. The
 * first page contains the recipient's address and the fixed text "INVOICE" at
 * known coordinates. Subsequent pages of the same invoice are blank in these
 * places.
 * 
 * The goal is to split the input document into multiple output documents based
 * on the recipient's country. A real-world benefit of this could be that the
 * postage is cheaper if letters are delivered sorted by country. In the same
 * spirit, the invoices could be sorted according zu ZIP code, name of the
 * addressee, etc.
 * 
 * Required software: TET 5 and PDFlib+PDI 9
 * 
 * Required data: PDF document
