Introduction ------------ Apache Solr Extraction provides a means for extracting and indexing content contained in "rich" documents, such as Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, etc. (Each name is a trademark of their respective owners) This contrib module uses Apache Tika to extract content and metadata from the files, which can then be indexed.

Then, simply add the extraction JAR file, plus the Tika dependencies (in the ./lib folder) to your Solr Home lib directory.
