Hi, By using PDFBox 1.6 my problem is solved, the time is reduced to 33s (with 1.5 is 50m). The parameter suppressDuplicateOverlappingText did not make much difference, I guess that's because my PDF does not have big overlap (the resulting TXT is slightly different, but not very much).
Thanks very much for helps!!!

I downloaded Tika 0.10 a few days ago and CHANGES.txt attached did not mention PDFBox 1.6, based on that CHANGES.txt I thought Tika used 1.4. I will download PDFBox 1.6 and retest.

According to [1] Tika 0.10 uses PDFBox 1.6. which includes some improvements related to performance. > Best regards, Lisheng > <SNIP> BR Andreas Lehmkühler [1] http://www.apache.org/dist/tika/CHANGES-0.10.txt
