Conversion rather than text extraction?

[Mark Kerzner <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a problem related to Tika, maybe someone would know... In addition to
doing text extraction, I need to create the PDF or TIFF of the original
document. All advice will be appreciated.

Thank you,
Mark

Really, that's a realm of converter utilities, of which there are plenty.
However, my thought was that Tika is close enough. I, for one, could be
working in this sandbox.

That's outside the scope of Tika. There's been talk about generating
thumbnail images of the parsed documents, but that's about as far
along the rendering path that I think Tika should be going.

That's of course just me, so if there's enough interest we could open
a sandbox area for experimenting with adding rendering features to
Tika.
