[jira] [Created] (TIKA-2749) OCR on PDFs should "just work" out of the box

Tim Allison created TIKA-2749:

             Summary: OCR on PDFs should "just work" out of the box
                 Key: TIKA-2749
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2749
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Tim Allison


There are now two different ways (with various parameters) to trigger OCR on inline images within PDFs.  The user has to 1) understand that these are available and then 2) elect to turn one of those on.

I think we should make OCR'ing on PDFs "just work" perhaps with a hybrid strategy between the 2 options.  Users should still be allowed to configure as they wish, of course.
