[jira] [Created] (TIKA-1010) Embedded documents in RTF are not extracted

Michael McCandless created TIKA-1010:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Embedded documents in RTF are not extracted
                 Key: TIKA-1010
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1010
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: parser
            Reporter: Michael McCandless


When an RTF doc embeds a doc it looks like this:

{noformat}
{\object\objemb
\objw628\objh765{\*\objclass Package}{\*\objdata 0105000002000000080000005061636b61676500000000000000000066000000

020101000000050000002e0106000000090000002105060048772e747874210015001c000000fb021000070000000000bc02000000000102022253797374656d00004936668300000a0026008a0100000000ffffffff8cfc0700040000002d010100030000000000}
{noformat}

But, unfortunately, the format of those hex bytes is not spelled out
in the RTF spec ... the spec merely says the bytes are saved by the
OLESaveToStream function ... and I haven't been able to find a
description of what the bytes mean.

In this case they are a "Package object" (\objclass Package), which I
think is an [old?] way to wrap any non-OLE file (this is just a .txt
file).

Here's the hex dump:

{noformat}

Anyway I have no idea how to decode the bytes at this point ... just
opening the issue in case anyone else does!
