Java：Apache Tika：从.doc文件提取文本时出现意外的运行时异常。 该文件打开，MSWord中没有任何错误

Question

I have used TikaParser to extract plain text from '.doc' files

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    ContentHandler handler = new ToHTMLContentHandler();
    AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
    Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
    ParseContext context = new ParseContext();

    FileInputStream content = new FileInputStream("file.doc");
    parser.parse(content, handler, metadata, context);
    System.out.println(handler.toString());

    String[] metadataNames = metadata.names();
    for (String name : metadataNames) {
        System.out.println(name + " : " + metadata.get(name));
    }

    FileOutputStream outStream = new FileOutputStream("file.doc.txt");
    outStream.write(handler.toString().getBytes());
    outStream.close();
    content.close();
}

This is working for most of the files but for a specific file, it is throwing the following exception

The doc file when opened in Microsoft Word shows no error.

Also, in C# using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word gives plain text.

How do I overcome this issue using Apache Tika?

Edit: adding sample doc for this scenario

Answer 1

I am using tika cote1.2 jar and my program has been run successfully with the following code.

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.tika.exception.TikaException;
import org.apache.tika.metadata.Metadata;
import org.apache.tika.parser.AutoDetectParser;
import org.apache.tika.parser.ParseContext;
import org.apache.tika.sax.ToHTMLContentHandler;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;


public class Exmple2 {
     public static void main(final String[] args) throws IOException,TikaException, SAXException {

         ToHTMLContentHandler handler = new ToHTMLContentHandler();
            AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
            Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
            ParseContext context = new ParseContext();

            FileInputStream content = new FileInputStream("/home/ist/FTRDocuments/taableDis.docx");
            parser.parse(content, handler, metadata, context);
            System.out.println(handler.toString());

            String[] metadataNames = metadata.names();
            for (String name : metadataNames) {
                System.out.println(name + " : " + metadata.get(name));
            }

            FileOutputStream outStream = new FileOutputStream("/home/ist/file.doc.txt");
            outStream.write(handler.toString().getBytes());
            outStream.close();
            content.close();
     }


}

The only thing change with tika1.2 is ToHTMLContentHandler where you are using ContentHandler.
