Hi,

I got some parsing problems when using Tika 1.1 for the attached pdf file.

my code (Test.java):


import java.io.File;

import java.io.InputStream;

import java.io.FileInputStream;



import org.apache.tika.metadata.Metadata;

import org.apache.tika.parser.AutoDetectParser;

import org.apache.tika.parser.ParseContext;

import org.apache.tika.parser.Parser;

import org.apache.tika.parser.html.BoilerpipeContentHandler;

import org.apache.tika.sax.BodyContentHandler;

import org.apache.tika.parser.html.HtmlParser;

import de.l3s.boilerpipe.extractors.ArticleExtractor;



public class Test {

    private static final String validBoilerpipeFilenameRegEx = 
".*(\\.)(htm|html|shtml|php|asp|aspx)$";



        public String parseFile(File inFile) {

            if (inFile == null || !inFile.isFile() || !inFile.canRead()) return 
null;

                   

            InputStream is = null;

            String outputText = "";

            try {

                // Open input stream

                is = new FileInputStream(inFile);



                // Prepare parser

                BodyContentHandler contenthandler = new BodyContentHandler(-1);

                Metadata metadata = new Metadata();

                metadata.set(Metadata.RESOURCE_NAME_KEY, inFile.getName());

                ParseContext pc = new ParseContext();

                // Call parse with boilerpipe if valid boilerpipe extension; 
otherwise, call regular parse.

                if (!inFile.getName().matches(validBoilerpipeFilenameRegEx)) {

                        Parser parser = new AutoDetectParser();

                        parser.parse(is, contenthandler, metadata, pc);

                }

                else {

                        Parser parser = new HtmlParser();

                        BoilerpipeContentHandler bh = new 
BoilerpipeContentHandler(contenthandler, new ArticleExtractor());

                        parser.parse(is, bh, metadata, pc);



                }



                // Prepare text for write

                outputText = contenthandler.toString();        

            } catch (Exception e) {

                System.out.println(e);

                return null;

            } finally {

                try { 

                    if (is != null) 

                        is.close(); 

                } catch (Exception e) {}

            }

           

            return outputText;

        }
