[jira] [Created] (TIKA-630) Dealing with PDF documents produced
from scanning programs
Dealing with PDF documents produced from scanning programs
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-630
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-630
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: general
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Joseph Vychtrle
Priority: Minor
Hey,
sorry I didn't post this to mailing list, I kinda didn't get the confirmation.
The issue is that often people don't even realize there is a difference in pdf documents (extracted from openoffice/ms office or pdf from a scanner software). And if Tika processes such a document, it detects pdf content type, but there are only images in there. I don't know how to deal with that. There should be a function that decides on the type of PDF document so that I can take it and use some OCR software for the PDF from scanner software.
If there is a way to do that, could please anybody explain how to do that ?
