I already spent a lot of time reading on the internet about the same, when I was finished with all the trials and solutions, then only I posted my query here. I know time zones are different and you people are busy, I totally understand it & highly appreciate your efforts!
Regarding my file formats, I read about them, tried various ways to handle it. Did not worked. I even tried to customise my Tika, but did not got any help on internet how to proceed with it. It would be great if anyone of you could tell me about customising/configuring Tika config file - where to keep that, it's entry, etc. I also tried the below code from Tika's Documentation to convert into XHTML first and then considering the required content, but there was a namespace error. ContentHandler handler = new BodyContentHandler(new ToXMLContentHandler()); Error : org.xml.sax.SAXException: Namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml not declared Will customizing Tika (configuring Tika parsers) be any good for my requirement? If yes, then how to deal with that?

It can also not harm to read more about the formats that you are processing and understand them. PDF is a problematic format as headers and footers are not specified per se as headers and footers in the document, but only as drawing instructions on the page. There is no chance for a software to find them based on the structure. However, depending on your documents you can identify them based on regex pattern and remove them from the content. It may be helpful to configure Tika to output in HTML format and then try to identify header/footer. Removing headers and footers for ppt are probably not supported yet by Tika (you may ask on their mailing list). So a similar approach as for the PDFs could be applicable. Alternatively you can check in the Apache POI mailing list because Tika uses internally for Ms Office formats Apache POI. Feel free to contribute a solution to those problems to the Apache Tika project. > Am 04.09.2019 um 05:42 schrieb Khare, Kushal (MIND) > <kushal.kh...@mind-infotech.com>: > > Guys, could I get any help ?
