Tim Allison created TIKA-1294:
---------------------------------
Summary: Add ability to turn off extraction of PDXObjectImages
(TIKA-1268) from PDFs
Key: TIKA-1294
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1294
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Tim Allison
Priority: Trivial
TIKA-1268 added the capability to extract embedded images as regular embedded
resources...a great feature!
However, for some use cases, it might not be desirable to extract those types
of embedded resources. I see two ways of allowing the client to choose whether
or not to extract those images:
1) set a value in the metadata for the extracted images that identifies them as
embedded PDXObjectImages vs regular image attachments. The client can then
choose not to process embedded resources with a given metadata value.
2) allow the client to set a parameter in the PDFConfig object.
My initial proposal is to go with option 2, and I'll attach a patch shortly.
