Maruan Sahyoun commented on TIKA-1575:
--------------------------------------
for 719128.pdf it's correct to get the content of help_print only once as this
is the fields value and the field exists only once in the form. The reason the
text is displayed 4 times is because the field has 4 widgets assigned to it
representing the same field 4 times visually.
So the question is - what's the expected result. If you only want to extract
the fields content - 1.8.9 is correct and 1.8.8 wasn't. If you would like to
get the text 4 times as it visually appears 4 times then either
- the annotations appearance stream needs to be processed as this will have the
same text content (if it has been updated)
- extract the text n-times (n representing the number of widgets a form field
has)
As I'm not familiar with the Tika code maybe you could point me to the
class/method where that is handled to review that section (also having 2.0.0 in
mind :-))
