Perhaps the stream simply can't be parsed by Tika? Have you tried
java -jar tika-app-1.3.jar --text < /path/to/file
on the document?
Alternatively, if you're running Tika in an OSGi environment like
Sling, do you have just tika-core deployed (AFAIUI that's the default
with Sling)? The core bundle doesn't contain any parser components, so
it won't be able to extract text from any documents. Deploying
tika-bundle along with core should fix that.
