Hello!
We are using Tika Server to extract text from rich files, HTML, PDF, DOCX, XLS,
etc. By default Tika is extracting the alt text of images present in HTML files
and returns it as [image: this is the alt text of the image] which becomes part
of the document's extracted text. This ends up in Solr and shows up in the
results when we generate document summaries at query time (via Solr's highlight
functionality). You can see this at https://imgur.com/a/zTc9X6m
Based on the docs, I have tried the following tika config but I continue to see
[image: ] tags in extract text.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<properties>
<parsers>
<parser class="org.apache.tika.parser.DefaultParser">
<mime-exclude>image/jpeg</mime-exclude>
<parser-exclude class="org.apache.tika.parser.image.ImageParser"/>
<parser-exclude class="org.apache.tika.parser.jpeg.JpegParser"/>
</parser>
</parsers>
</properties>
> java -Dtika.config=tikaconfig.xml -jar tika-server-1.17.jar
What am I doing wrong, how can I tell Tika Server to ignore embedded images?
Thanks!
Harinder
