File works with Tika trunk. What's on your classpath: tika-app or just tika-core? Is there a chance that you don't have tika-parsers on your cp?

Unfortunately Tika 1.10 seems unable to extract any text from the PDF, I don't get any exceptions or errors. The code is as simple as: new Tika().parseToString(new FileInputStream(f)) Tika is always returning just the empty string. The PDF is available here - http://static.adamretter.org.uk/adam-1.pdf Any ideas? -- Adam Retter skype: adam.retter tweet: adamretter http://www.adamretter.org.uk
