>             Project: Tika
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Adrian Bird
>            Priority: Major

> Using -z works:
> {code:java}
> %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -jar %TIKA_JAR% -z --extract-dir=ImageFiles MyTestFile.pdf {code}
> Using --extract fails:
> {code:java}
> %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -jar %TIKA_JAR% --extract --extract-dir=ImageFiles MyTestFile.pdf 
> Exception in thread "main" org.apache.tika.exception.TikaConfigException: Can't have more than 2 unknown args: [--extract, -o, ImageFiles, MyTestFile.pdf]{code}
> If I change the order I get a different error:
> {code:java}
> %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -jar %TIKA_JAR% --extract-dir=ImageFiles --extract MyTestFile.pdf 
> Exception in thread "main" org.apache.tika.exception.TikaConfigException: Can only set inputDir and outputDir once. Extra args: [--extract, MyTestFile.pdf]
> {code}
>  
> I also noticed that V4 produces an error if you do the extraction more than once, saying the image files already exist, where V3 created multiple files.
