Tika is already distributed with Solr. It should “just work” since the path is
already in solrconfig.xml
<lib dir="${solr.install.dir:../../../..}/contrib/extraction/lib"
regex=".*\.jar" />
Other PDF converters? I’m sure there are, but Tika is free….
But, i wouldn’t really recommend that you just ship the docs to Solr, I’d
recommend that you build a little program to do the extraction on one or more
clients, the details of why are here:

It’s a little old, but the concepts are still valid. The RDBMS parts you can
just rip out.
