I've offered one straightforward possibility (one that was discussed briefly in Austin) at:
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/FCREPO-1010 Use Apache Tika for extraction: Apache Tika is a toolkit that can extract text and metadata from a wide variety of mimetyped formats (including PDF, via PDFBox). Employing Tika as an extraction engine in GSearch would immediately expand enormously the possible range of material over which GSearch could operate, and going forward, GSearch would benefit from new parsers and better-performing parsers created as part of that effort. --- A.
