I saw this issue in Tika: OpenOffice parser: master footer text isn't extracted https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-736
The current ODF parser of Tika doesn't touch the styles part and the embeded document, only meta and content. They are waiting for the first ODF Toolkit incubating release, then switch to a full featured parser much as they have for the POI powered ones. The first release is coming and we will have no code update before it. So, I suggest start the discussion that how to use ODF Toolkit to realize it based on the snapshot. This feature concerns ODFDOM and Simple ODF API. We have involved text extraction in the cookbook and demo, see: http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/simple/document/cookbook/TextExtractor.html http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/simple/demo/demo2.html The work we need to do: (1) What' s the detail requirements of Tika? (2) Whether the exist features odf ODF Toolkit can cover the requirements of Tika? (3) How to use ODF Toolkit realize it? CC to Tika Dev list, in case, guys in this list are interested in this issue. -- -Devin
