Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1857:
-----------------------------------
This is great. Thank you!
So, to get the best coverage for extracted content, should we do the following:
Check for fields in the AcroForm.
a) If those exist (Static XFA), use the content extracted from the AcroForm and
ignore the XFA
b) If they don't exist (Dynamic XFA), scrape/extract info from the XFA
In your experience, will we miss any info if we ignore the XFA for Static XFAs
and rely solely on the AcroForm?
