feng ye reopened TIKA-2734: --------------------------- Hi Tim, applied the config setting you suggested but the results still contain the footer contents somehow. Would you take a look? My code is copied below. _if (tika.detect(bytes).contains("ms-excel")) {_ _System.out.println("turning off footers...");_ _ParseContext parseContext = new ParseContext();_ _OfficeParserConfig config = new OfficeParserConfig();_ _config.setIncludeHeadersAndFooters(false);_ _parseContext.set(OfficeParserConfig.class, config);_ _parseContext.set(Parser.class, tika.getParser());_ _}_ _String result = tika.parseToString(new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes));_ > Tika addes extra characters at the end of text in extracting from excel file > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-2734 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2734 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: handler > Affects Versions: 1.18 > Reporter: feng ye > Priority: Major > Attachments: AIRPORTSOK.xls, extra_A_Page_P.png > > > when extracting text from some relatively large excel files (9000 rows or > so), I found an extra string of "&A PAGE &P" is added to the end of the > resulting text, when Tika.parseToString is called. Is it a known issue?
