Tim Allison updated TIKA-1205: ------------------------------ Description: With TIKA-1201, there is now an option to use PDFBox's NonSequentialPDFParser instead of the traditional parser for parsing PDF files. Following the description in PDFBOX-1199, it would be useful to allow fallback to the classic parser if NonSequentialPDFParser throws an IOException. For the sake of symmetry, I propose a boolean useParserFallbackOnException parameter. If this parameter is true, and if Tika's PDFParser is using the classic parser, Tika will fallback to the NonSequentialPDFParser if there is an IOException; if this parameter is true and if Tika's PDFParser is using the NonSequentialPDFParser it will fallback to the classic parser if there is an IOException. Many thanks to Hong-Thai for championing the addition of the added NonSequentialPDFParser capability in TIKA-1201, and many thanks to Timo for PDFBox's NonSequentialPDFParser (PDFBOX-1199)! was: With TIKA-1201, there is now an option to use PDFBox's NonSequentialPDFParser instead of the traditional parser for parsing PDF files.
