Also interesting if I use the simple example program:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import org.apache.tika.Tika;
public class ExtractTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String text = new Tika().parseToString(new FileInputStream(new
File("/tmp/adam-1.pdf")));
System.out.println("'" + text + "'");
}
}
1) And run it like this:
java -cp
/Users/aretter/Downloads/tika-core-1.10.jar:/Users/aretter/Downloads/tika-parsers-1.10.jar:/Users/aretter/Downloads/pdfbox-1.8.10.jar
ExtractTest
The I get an empty string as the result.
2) However if I run:
java -cp /Users/aretter/Downloads/tika-app-1.10.jar ExtractTest
Then I get the expected text extracted from the PDF as the result. So,
what dependencies am I missing from my classpath in (1) to be able to
extract text from a PDF? Also is there anyway to get Tika to complain
or throw an exception if it doesn't have the dependencies that it
needs?
