We currently don't have any magic header matchers for Microsoft Office
file formats, so the only thing AutoDetectParser can use to detect the
file type is the file name suffix.
Do you have the file name available to your plugin? You can feed the
file name to AutoDetectParser like this:
AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
InputStream stream = ...;
ContentHandler handler = ...;
Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
metadata.set(Metadata.RESOURCE_NAME_KEY, ...);
parser.parse(stream, handler, metadata);
