-----------------------------------

             Summary: Tika server only returns last value for PDFs that have multiple of the same key
                 Key: TIKA-4171
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-4171
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tika-server
            Reporter: Cassandra Xia
         Attachments: 20230801-5207_QF20-270 East River Solar Form 556 recert FINAL.pdf

Thanks for the great work on Tika server, it is the only OSS that can handle Adobe's protected form format that FERC uses. 

One problem that I'm hitting is that the FERC form that I am parsing has multiple values for the same key name, e.g. in the screenshot below line 1-7 all have the same key name. When Tika Server parses this PDF, it only returns the value in row 7 (losing the previous 6 values).

My hunch is that somewhere in Tika Server, the values are getting stored in some dictionary object, so the final value is the only survivor. Would it be possible to return the extra values as a list from Tika Server? 

Example PDF attached - thank you for taking a look!
