Description

Given the regressions we identified in PDFBox 1.8.7, we should upgrade to 1.8.8 as soon as it is ready. I'm tempted to call this a blocker on Tika 1.7. Let's use this issue to carry on the discussion of regression testing (if any further discussion is necessary) or any other prep that needs to happen before 1.8.8's release.
