---------------------------------
Summary: Add an interface for a rendering engine
Key: TIKA-3571
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3571
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Tim Allison
We've now seen a few requests for extracting text _and_ rendering PDFs, and
certainly it might be useful to have alternatives for rendering files (e.g.
this [Alfresco
study|https://hub.alfresco.com/t5/alfresco-content-services-blog/pdf-rendering-engine-performance-and-fidelity-comparison/ba-p/287618]),
including MSOffice or at least PPTx...
And there are cases where users don't want the rendered images, but they do
want OCR to be run against the images.
I doubt I'll have a chance to work on this for a while, but I wanted to open an
issue for discussion.
