[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-245) Support of CHM Format
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-245?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13594074#comment-13594074 ]
Tejas Patil commented on TIKA-245:
----------------------------------
I am working on NUTCH-1454 and I am observing that tika is not able to extract contents from chm documents. (i tried with several chm files but it worked for none). Chm viewer however could show entire contents of the file. I am not the only guy who is facing this issue (see [here|http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/CHM-Files-and-Tika-tp3999735p4001245.html])

Tika chm support has its limitations, can you provide such file(s) for
further investigation ?
BR,
