-----------------------------------
Hahahahahaha, they also have text and xhtml as output... Maybe we can retire?

> Key: TIKA-3571
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3571
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Tim Allison
> Priority: Major
>
> We've now seen a few requests for extracting text _and_ rendering PDFs, and
> certainly it might be useful to have alternatives for rendering files (e.g.
> this [Alfresco
> study|https://hub.alfresco.com/t5/alfresco-content-services-blog/pdf-rendering-engine-performance-and-fidelity-comparison/ba-p/287618]),
> including MSOffice or at least PPTx...
> And there are cases where users don't want the rendered images, but they do
> want OCR to be run against the rendered images.
> I doubt I'll have a chance to work on this for a while, but I wanted to open
> an issue for discussion.
