>>and when is "extractInlineImages" actually effective ? Not sure I understand the question exactly?
If the question is "why didn't extractInlineImages work on a specific document"? That's probably a bug or could be user error in the configuration...either way, please follow up and help us solve the bug or improve documentation. If the question is "which one should we use: extractInlineImages or render each page", the answer is: I have no idea. :) It probably depends on your documents. I suspect one strategy will be better with some documents and the other on another set. You could use tika-eval to find out which one works best on your docs! :)
