Tim Allison commented on TIKA-2702:
-----------------------------------
If you want to prevent extraction of hyperlinks, we could parameterize that in
Tika to allow you to turn it off via tika-config.xml.
However, there will likely be many differences in how Tika extracts text from
PDFs and how PDFBox's text extractor extracts text. IIRC, PDFBox doesn't
handle embedded files; it may not handle bookmarks, annotations, any number of
things that I can't remember at the moment.
Can you help me understand why you need to have an exact 1:1 match?
> Different behavior between TIKA and pdfbox
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-2702
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2702
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: app
> Affects Versions: 1.18
> Reporter: Lior
> Priority: Major
>
> As far as I understand, TIKA is using pdfbox for extracting text from pdf
> files
> During a side benchmark I'm doing, I'm seeing that the text I'm getting using
> PDFBox 2.0.9 and the text I'm getting from TIKA is not 100% the same...in
> most cases, when there is a hyperlink inside the pdf file, the pdfbox ignore
> the link itself, while TIKA is extracting the text, for example:
> https://www.linkedin.com/in/jhonDo
> mailto:[[email protected] |mailto:[email protected]]
>
> This is really a deal breaker for me, because I'm using pdfbox for another
> process I'm doing and I need the text to be the same, so I can't use TIKA at
> the moment....
