Hi Stephan,
This is currently an omission/blindspot in Tika[1]. Regrettably,
the new iWorks files are, um, complex, and last I looked the schemas
for iWorks were enormous, and there were version conflicts in the
schemas across different versions of iWorks files.
So, perhaps our best bet would be to follow something along the
lines of [2] on [3].
You could help out by sharing example files. I don't know that I'll
have any time soon to work on this, but, y, this is a known issue.
Sorry.
Best,
Tim
