Also, and probably more importantly, NONE of the text is being captured by my handler. The "characters" method of SAX isn't being called at all, everything is coming back blank, so something is clearly not hooking up at all.
Using the downloaded "app": java -jar tika-app-2.1.0.jar --xml myfile.pdf results in what I would expect, XML tags and all content intact. The maven dependencies of my project: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tika</groupId> <artifactId>tika-core</artifactId> <version>2.1.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tika</groupId> <artifactId>tika-parsers</artifactId> <version>2.1.0</version> <type>pom</type> </dependency> If that makes any difference..

The relevant code is mainly something like this: AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser(); Metadata md = new Metadata(); CustomContentHandler handler = new CustomContentHandler(); parser.parse(Files.newInputStream(Paths.get("myfile"), handler, md); In the CustomContentHandler (extending DefaultHandler from SAX) I implement the startElement and endElement events, and log each such item. Previously, I would get a number of "a", "div", and other HTML tag events. Since 2.1.0, I only get "html", "head", a few "meta" tags, and a "title", and "body".

How are you injecting your custom ContentHandler? Is this occurring on pdf documents or ppt/pptx or something else?
