Cristian Vat commented on TIKA-632:
-----------------------------------
Tika uses RTFEditorKit from javax.swing.text.rtf for the actual RTF Parsing and
that doesn't seem to support links.
In the example you provided links are actually marked using two methods:
- \htmlrtf tags which are "Control Words Introduced by Specific/Other Microsoft
Products"
- \field instances of type hyperlink, which are seem to be the normal RTF way
of adding links
However the RTF Parser in Swing ignores a lot of "unknown" control words,
including \field completely.
For reference, there is a bug opened in 1999 and closed as "Will Not Fix" to
enhance RTF Parsing (
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4261277 )
To quote Jukka from another issue: "there's little we can do about this as long
as we're stuck with the Swing RTF parser".

> Key: TIKA-632
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-632
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Nick Burch
> Attachments: test.rtf
>
>
> I spotted this while working on TIKA-631 - an RTF file containing links has
> the link skipped over - neither the link text nor the link href are output.
> In the attached sample file (which is the RTF contents of
> /test-documents/test-outlook2003.msg), we should see things like:
> [a
> href="http://r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlidOutlookWelcomeMail1?clid=1033";>Streamlined
> Mail Experience[/a> - Outlook
> Instead, all we get is " - Outlook"
