In terms of PDF documents...
PDFBox should work just fine with any latin based languages; at this
time certain PDFs that have CJK characters can pose some issues. In
general english/french/spanish should be fine.
Some PDFs use custom encodings that make it impossible to extract text
and it comes out as gibberish. As a simple test if Acrobat can
extract the text then PDFBox should be able to as well.

Hey Michael,
Have you given it a try? I would think they would work, but haven't
actually done it. Setup a small test that reads in a PDF in French or
Spanish and give it a try. You might have to worry about encodings or
something, but the structure of the files should be the same, i.e. they
are valid Word, etc. documents.

Yea, I have seen those. I guess the question is what do you all
use to extract text from Word, Excel, PPT and PDF? Can I use POI,
PDFBox and so on? This is what I use now to extract english.
Thanks,
Michael

If you can extract token stream from those files already, you can
simply use
different analyzers to analyze those token stream appropriately. Check out
Lucen-contrib analyzers at
