Ben Summers commented on TIKA-1358:
-----------------------------------
Evernote have kindly open sourced some code to extract text from iWorks '13
files: https://github.com/evernote/iwana (Apache license)
It's a little fiddly to build, and requires OS X to extract protobuf
definitions from the iWorks apps, but building generates portable jar files
which run on other OSes.
> Add support for newer iWork file formats

> Key: TIKA-1358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1358
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.5
> Reporter: Jelle Kastelein

> IWork 2013 uses a revised file format which replaces the xml files that hold
> the content by .iwa files (a binary format). This file format is becoming
> increasingly relevant as more and more people are using apple products.
> However, it does not appear to work with the current IWorkPackageParser
> (tested with several of the example .pages files one can get from the
> iCloud).
