Description

When processing PDF document to the local Tika server using PUT request to endpoint http://localhost:9998/tika.  If the PDFOcrStrategy is set to anything other than AUTO or NO_OCR, this causes extreme slowdown in processing of the PDF file.  

 

It doesn't matter if the PDF document has inline images or not, the slowdown happens regardless.
