Use of Convertes or Parser

Hi Guys,
 
I have a small query, ie. Lucene 1.4 APIs directly indexing all the
documents(PPT,PDF,WORD,etc.) then why we go for Converters or Parsers.
 
 
Thanks,
Natarajan.

Lucene cannot parse those document formats that you mentioned.  You
need 3rd party parsers to do that.  For example, POI will parse Excel
and MS Word docs, PDFBox will parse PDF.
