[jira] [Updated] (TIKA-207) MS word doc containing tracked changes
produces incorrect text
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-207?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Curt Arnold updated TIKA-207:
-----------------------------
Attachment: TIKA-207.patch
Refined fix to suppress deleted text in .doc files. Will follow up with test cases later.
POI's API for .docx does not have the equivalent of CharacterRun.isMarkedDeleted. Will likely file a POI bug and a new TIKA bug to accomplish the equivalent for .docx files.

> Key: TIKA-207
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-207
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 0.3
> Environment: tika-0.3-standalone.jar
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: TIKA-207.patch

> Spinoff from this discussion:
> http://n2.nabble.com/getting-text-from-MS-Word-docs-with-tracked-changes...-td2463811.html
> When extracting text from an MS Word doc (2003 format) that has
> unapproved pending changes, the text from both old and new is glommed
> together.
> EG I had a doc that contained text "Field.Index.TOKENIZED", and I
> changed TOKENIZED to ANALYZED with track changes enabled, and
> then when I extract text (using TikaCLI) it produces this:
> Field.Index.TOKENIZEDANALYZED
> So, first, it'd be nice to at least get whitespace inserted between
> old & new text.
> And, second, it'd be great to have an option to control whether it's
> old or new text that's indexed (or at least an option to only see
> "new" text, ie the current document).
> From the discussion above, it seems like POI may expose the
> fine-grained APIs to allow Tika to do this; it's just that Tika's not
> leveraging these APIs for MS Word docs.
