["Loris Bachert (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1729?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Loris Bachert closed TIKA-1729.
-------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

Solved. Solution is:

{code:title=PDFOCRTest.java|borderStyle=solid}
Parser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
BodyContentHandler handler = new BodyContentHandler(Integer.MAX_VALUE);

TesseractOCRConfig config = new TesseractOCRConfig();
PDFParserConfig pdfConfig = new PDFParserConfig();
pdfConfig.setExtractInlineImages(true);

ParseContext parseContext = new ParseContext();
parseContext.set(TesseractOCRConfig.class, config);
parseContext.set(PDFParserConfig.class, pdfConfig);
parseContext.set(Parser.class, parser); //need to add this to make sure recursive parsing happens!

parser.parse(stream, handler, new Metadata(), parseContext);
{code}

> As described in this [stackoverflow-post|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32354209/apache-tika-extract-scanned-pdf-files] i'm having troubles extracting text out of scanned PDF files. By scanned PDF files i mean PDF files that consist only of images. Because each page is an image i can't extract them using a custom ParsingEmbeddedDocumentExtractor. I also tried using the setExtractInlineImages method of the PDFParserConfig but this didn't work aswell.
> There was already a [ticket|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-93] regarding the OCR support and including the [PDF file|https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12627866/testOCR.pdf] i'm using for my tests.
> Here is a JUnit-test about my issue:
> {code:title=PDFOCRTest.java|borderStyle=solid}
> @Test
> public void testPDFOCRExtraction() throws IOException, SAXException, TikaException {
> 	File file = new File(filePath);
> 	InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(file);
> 	
> 	BodyContentHandler handler = new BodyContentHandler(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
> 	Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
> 	PDFParserConfig config = new PDFParserConfig();
> 	config.setExtractInlineImages(true);
> 	ParseContext context = new ParseContext();
> 	context.set(PDFParserConfig.class, config);
> 	
> 	PDFParser pdfParser = new PDFParser();
> 	pdfParser.setPDFParserConfig(config);
> 	pdfParser.parse(stream, handler, metadata, context);
> 	String text = handler.toString().trim();
> 	assertFalse(text.isEmpty());
> }
> {code}
