 Hi, Oleg!

Thanks a lot for your response.
Yes, Tika is written on Java and so it can run on any JVM. But Android work in DVM (Dalvik Virtual Machine), and so I don't understand, how it can work in Android. 
Tika depends on pdfbox, and pdfbox depends on other libraries, that exist in .jar. But on Android for running I need code (not jar). Could you, please, understand me that?

Thanks!
