[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-4860) PDF RENDER_PAGES_BEFORE_PARSE ignores maxPages

["Dominik Schmidt (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-4860?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18109525#comment-18109525 ] 

Dominik Schmidt commented on TIKA-4860:
---------------------------------------

 Bounding the pre-parse rendering by maxPages would make both strategies behave the same, which is what I expected. The alternative is documenting that maxPages only applies to text extraction, in case someone relies on RENDER_PAGES_BEFORE_PARSE to render all pages while extracting little text. Which way would you prefer?

> With "imageStrategy": "RENDER_PAGES_BEFORE_PARSE" the PDF parser renders every page (PageRangeRequest.RENDER_ALL) even when maxPages limits the parse; RENDER_PAGES_AT_PAGE_END honours it. A 10-page PDF with maxPages: 1 renders 10 pages before parse and 1 page at page end. Either bound the pre-parse rendering by maxPages or document that maxPages only applies to text extraction.
