Parse docx and output to text file missing words
------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-423
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-423
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: parser
Affects Versions: 0.7
Environment: Windows and Mac
Reporter: David Tran
I created a word document using Word 2007 on a Windows Server 2003 machine
(using Remote desktop), it has also happened to someone else using Windows XP,
with person names, country names, addresses, and a date. Some of these elements
are tagged as "Smart Tags" by Word, and in the output of parsing by Tika, some
words disappear.
So a text fragment like the one below in Word:
Smart tags typically are names like George Washington, Marilyn Monroe, Napoleon
Bonaparte, etc. But they are automatically generated by Word, so it can be
difficult to control how they are
After running Tika from the command line (on OSX), java -jar
/path/to/tika-app-0.7.jar -t /path/to/docx/document.docx > /path/to/output.txt
will result in something like:
Smart tags typically are names like , , Napoleon Bonaparte, etc. But they are
automatically generated by Word, so it can be difficult to control how they are
Note the missing names George Washington and Marilyn Monroe, Marilyn Monroe was
one that was tagged by Word.
While I've only tried this with Tika 0.7, my understanding is that it has been
an issue since 0.3 at least.
Removing all Smart tags from the document using Autocorrect options in Word
will result in the correct output. I can attach a sample document and output
text file if that will help.
