I'll send a note over the the PDFBox list and ask what they think.
Thanks,
Daniel

Shouldn't this be a TikaException of some type, or at least something
other than just an IOException?
One option might be to catch the IOException in the Tika code, then
re-throw it as a TikaException. However, I'd probably prefer it if we
could get the PDFBox project to make it a more specific exception,
which we could then catch and re-throw as a TikaException. I'm not
sure we want to be catching all PDFBox IOExceptions, as that might
mask a real IOException?
