Tejas Patil commented on TIKA-245:
----------------------------------
I am working on NUTCH-1454 and I am observing that tika is not able to extract
contents from chm documents. (i tried with several chm files but it worked for
none). Chm viewer however could show entire contents of the file. I am not the
only guy who is facing this issue (see
[here|http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/CHM-Files-and-Tika-tp3999735p4001245.html])
