I completely agree with Erick about the utility of the TermsComponent to see what is actually being indexed. If you find problems there and if you haven't done so already, you might also investigate further down the stack. It might make sense to run the tika-app.jar (whichever version you are using in DIH or other mechanism?) or even the pdfbox-app.jar (ExtractText option) on your files outside of Solr to see what text/noise you're getting for the files that are causing problems.
