[jira] [Resolved] (TIKA-2069) Extract Macro text from Microsoft Office documents

["Tim Allison (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2069?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tim Allison resolved TIKA-2069.
-------------------------------
       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 1.14
                   2.0

I think there may be a bit more work to do at the POI level.  There are still a few open issues in POI for NPE, AIOOBE, etc.  Tika is currently swallowing these...I plan to do a run against our regression corpus with the swallowing turned off to help us prioritize known and identify new bugs in macro extraction at the POI level.

I also found that POI wasn't extracting macros from the 'ppt' file I created as a test (see [poi 60162|https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60162]). 

Patches are welcomed!

Let's close this ticket and open another to track the improvements in POI.

> Tika supports macro-enabled Microsoft Office documents by extracting metadata and contents, however, macros within the document are not in the metadata or content output.
> Desire is to have the macro text extracted also.
