Tim Allison commented on TIKA-2362:
-----------------------------------
I added configurability for doc, docx, xls and xlsx.
PDFs are their own ball of wax...they store text with x/y coordinates on a page
so we'd have to apply heuristics or, gasp, machine learning to guess the
headers/footers. This is not insurmountable, but I think this is beyond the
scope of Tika.
If you attach an example odt, I can look into adding configurability for that
as well.
