Description

When parsing a PDF or ODF encrypted file, Tika returns a long, cryptic error message. A more informative message would be useful for the user - at least mention the encryption, and perhaps the algorithm used?

 

I enclose a fabricated example, but real-world examples can be found in a similar issue for the JHOVE tool: https://github.com/openpreserve/jhove/issues/640

 

The error log obtained:

 
Apache Tika was unable to parse the document
