Is it possible to extract text by page for word/pdf files using Apache Tika?

Question

All the documentation I can find seems to suggest I can only extract the entire file\'s content. But I need to extract pages individually. Do I need to write my own parser f

Answer 1

You can get the number of pages in a Pdf using the metadata object's xmpTPg:NPages key as in the following:

Parser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
ParseContext parseContext = new ParseContext();
parser.parse(fis, handler, metadata, parseContext);
metadata.get("xmpTPg:NPages");
