You'll have to find something that parses the formats you are interested in and extracts the text you want. Apache Tika comes to mind.
Why are you using such an old version of Lucene? Why aren't you using Solr? That might just work for you out of the box. See also http://www.lucidimagination.com/devzone/technical-articles/content-extraction-tika As for the size, I wouldn't worry about it. Disk space is cheap. If you really do care, scan the FAQ at http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/LuceneFAQ. Lots of useful info on all sorts of things. -- Ian.
