Re: [mmapps-users] Lucene 1.8.0 Word and Excel

[Wouter H. <wh...@xs...>]

Hi Ted,

The lucenemodule can extract these file formats automatically out of the 
box.
It uses external libraries for extraction:

-pdfbox 0.72, for pdf files see http://www.pdfbox.org/
-poi 2.5.1, for word/excel/powerpoint see http://poi.apache.org/
-tm_extractors 0.4, for word documents see http://www.textmining.org/
