Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1245:
----------------------------------
The reason that Tika isn't detecting this as a PDF is that there's 176 bytes of
stuff before the PDF header. Where "stuff" is some high bytes, then some urls.
Any ideas why it might have that on the front?
Other programs seem to be able to skip over that stuff, and then open the PDF
from a few hundred bytes in, so it's possible we need to tweak the PDF magic to
look further into the file

> I am using Tika to detect the MIME type of a PDF file. The MIME type
> detection is incorrect.
> Tika tika = new Tika();
> System.out.println(tika.detect(new File(args[0])));
> The output is - audio/mpeg
> I was looking to attach the pdf document for testing along with this, but
> could not find how to do that.
