Description

As far as I understand, TIKA is using pdfbox for extracting text from pdf files

During a side benchmark I'm doing, I'm seeing that the text I'm getting using PDFBox 2.0.9 and the text I'm getting from TIKA is not 100% the same...in most cases, when there is a hyperlink inside the pdf file, the pdfbox ignore the link itself, while TIKA is extracting the text, for example:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jhonDo
[[e-mail] |mailto:[e-mail]]

 

This is really a deal breaker for me, because I'm using pdfbox for another process I'm doing and I need the text to be the same, so I can't use TIKA at the moment....
