    Description

      PdfParser returns self-closing tags for

      <a/>

      and 

      <p/>

      , which is not html supported and does not render correctly in any browsers.

      <a href="https://wiki.apache.org/tika/TikaJAXRS"/>

      in the example below should be 

      <a ref="https://wiki.apache.org/tika/TikaJAXRS"></a>

      We have tested both pdf converted from word and google documents with the same results. This is an example output that we get when parsing a pdf-document with a link:
