Tyler Palsulich commented on TIKA-1489:
---------------------------------------
bq. People ... will miss content they get now
But, they shouldn't be seeing this content in the first place... Right? I think
this is more of a bug than a feature. So, I'm +1 with [[email protected]]'s
variant. We could add an option to PDFParserConfig, an app option, and request
header (?) for the server which allows overriding the default behavior, if
needed.
> PDF Text extraction without permission
> --------------------------------------

> Key: TIKA-1489
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1489
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.7
> Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
>
> In TIKA-1442 text extraction from files like 717226.pdf that don't have text
> extraction permission works. The permissions in PDF files are only enforced
> by the application (i.e. PDFBox), i.e. the text information isn't stored
> separately in encrypted form.
> PDFBox ExtractText command line does throw an exception.
> So I wonder why TIKA is able to extract text. Either TIKA or the PDFBox call
> used bypasses the permission checking.
