Cristian Vat commented on TIKA-469: ----------------------------------- Also tested the Word file parsing and it looks ok. Display is identical to Word except part of one line, but that could be a RTL/LTR issue in the java/tika-app display. I copied the whole line text and searched for it in Word and it gave the correct result. > The Parser is not correctly outputting Arabic text documents > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: TIKA-469 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-469 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: parser > Affects Versions: 0.7 > Environment: Windows XP > Reporter: Robert Cullen > Attachments: TEST_WORD.doc, fever_factsheet_arabic.pdf > > > The parser is not preserving the character encoding when parsing documents in > Arabic UTF-8, specifically with .pdf and .doc.
