Hi,
The reason for this behaviour is part of TIKA: If a parser cannot load because of classes it refers to are missing, it is automatically disabled. Because you missed the actual PDF/Powerpoint/… classes, this is what happens for all those parsers.

After posting about this issue, I found my issue. I was missing a whole set of Tika JARs that are found under Solr: \solr\contrib\extraction\lib\ Steve On Wed, Feb 3, 2016 at 8:29 AM, Nick Burch <apa...@gagravarr.org <mailto:apa...@gagravarr.org> > wrote: On Tue, 2 Feb 2016, Steven White wrote: What I'm finding is that Tika will not extract the raw text off PDF, Powerpoint, ets. files but it will off raw text files. I'd suggest you try some of the steps in the troubleshooting page: http://wiki.apache.org/tika/Troubleshooting%20Tika Probably start at the "No Content Extracted" section, and follow the links to the possible problems + ways to check Solr 5.2 comes with the following Tika JARs which I have included all of them: tika-core-1.7.jar, tika-java7-1.7.jar, tika-parsers-1.7.jar, tika-xmp-1.7.jar, vorbis-java-tika-0.6.jar, kite-morphlines-tika-core-0.12.1.jar and kite-morphlines-tika-decompress-0.12.1.jar You seem to be missing quite a few of the Tika dependencies, which may well be it, follow the troubleshooting guide to check!
