This includes jai.

Most importantly: be aware of the licensing implications of using levigo and 
jai.  If they had been Apache 2.0 compatible, we would have included them.

Finally, there's a new option (coming out in Tika 1.15) that renders each PDF 
page as a single image before running OCR on it.  We found a couple of crazy 
PDFs that had 1000s of images where a single image was used to represent one 
line in a table (and I don't mean row, I mean a literal line in a table).

That "new" option is documented on our wiki:

https://wiki.apache.org/tika/PDFParser%20%28Apache%20PDFBox%29#OCR

Finally (I mean it this time), I've updated our wiki to mention the two 
optional dependencies.  Thank you.

Cheers,

              Tim

I tried this solution from Tim Allison, and it works.
