However. the vast > majority of their content is not intended to be human readable (see > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD_DXF). Unfortunately for these files, > Tika simply "extracts" the entire content of the file instead of the > human-readable portions (i.e. comments etc.) that a CAD tool would render. > This results in massive amounts of rubbish data being returned with dire > consequences for applications that rely on this. > It would be nice if only the human-readable text fields were extracted. > Failing this, it would still be nice if no text was extracted from these > files at all. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
