PDF split keeping accessibility information

All the split code examples (using document or PdfFileEditor) do not keep the accessibility information (Structure Tree).

As a workaround we use pdfEditor.delete

com.aspose.pdf.facades.PdfFileEditor pdfEditor = new com.aspose.pdf.facades.PdfFileEditor();

	pdfEditor.setCopyOutlines(true);
	pdfEditor.setCopyLogicalStructure(true);
	pdfEditor.setKeepActions(true);

	pdfEditor.setOptimizeSize(true);

	Document pdfDocument = new Document(srcDoc);
	int numPages = pdfDocument.getPages().size();
	pdfDocument.close();

	String fname = FilenameUtils.getBaseName(srcDoc);

	for (int i = 0; i < numPages; i++) {
		int[] arr = getArr(numPages, i);
		String fnum = String.format("%04d", (i + 1));
		pdfEditor.delete(srcDoc, arr, destDir + "/" + fname + "_" + fnum + ".pdf");
	}

This keeps the accessibility data in the target files but is very slow with huge page numbers.

What is the correct way to split PDFs keeping accessibility data?
