Description

Using the Tika command-line application to extract text from a PowerPoint 97-2003 document fails. Here's the basic command that was used:

java -jar tika-app-1.13.jar -t --password=password "This is password protected (Created with MS 2003).ppt"

The following exception is thrown on the console:

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.tika.exception.TikaException: Unexpected RuntimeException from org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.OfficeParser@62204612

Note that this happens with a PPT file that is created using Office 2010, Office 2007, or Office 2003.
