Jorge Spinsanti commented on PDFBOX-4737:
-----------------------------------------
According [~tilman]'s comment:
{quote}If we'd do "strict" text extraction we could still hit files that are
purposely obfuscated, see the comment by mkl. IMHO this isn't the job of
PDFBox. This should be done by the caller.
{quote}
[~tallison], do you think that Tika can do it?
