Description

when extracting text from some relatively large excel files (9000 rows or so), I found an extra string of "&A PAGE &P" is added to the end of the resulting text, when Tika.parseToString is called. Is it a known issue? Is there any configuration that I can do that will opt out from outputting these extra characters?

did not find a good answer over google. 

the input excel spreadsheet is attached.
