Mohit ,
This is out of scope of your question, but I hope you can explain to me what
Tika does exactly ?
I have read its description and it is useful in text extraction, but I still
do not understand what additions does it give ? Why don't you directly use
PDFBox ?
Best regards ,
Hesham

I am using Apache Tika .8 and tried .9 which is using pdfbox 1.4. It's
throwing this error:

So For the same doc I tried command line:
java -jar pdfbox-app-1.4.0.jar ExtractText -console
and that works. So I am not sure why one works and not the other and
how to resolve this issue.
