Currently I am processing a bunch of documents such as MS Office and

contents from most documents while skip those encrypted, what am I
supposed to do?
I'd suggest you wrap each call to tika in a try/catch loop. Assuming
you're iterating over lots of files to process, you'd change code like
Tika tika = new Tika();
for (File file : getFiles()) {
String text = tika.parseToString(file);
// Use text
}
To instead be more like
Tika tika = new Tika();
for (File file : getFiles()) {
try {
String text = tika.parseToString(file);
// Use text
} catch (Exception e) {
// Log the problem with this one file
logger.log(Logger.ERROR, "Can't process " + file, e);
}
}
