 ====== Full Text Extraction Tools ======
-VuFind's import tools include support for using external software to extract full text from external documents (PDF, Word, etc.).  In order to take advantage of this, you need to install an appropriate tool (see options below) and point VuFind to the software by editing the [[https://vufind.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vufind/trunk/web/conf/fulltext.ini|fulltext.ini]] file (in web/conf for VuFind 1.x or config/vufind within your [[vufind2:local settings directory]] for VuFind 2.x).

-===== Aperture =====
+===== Tika =====
-Aperture was the first tool that VuFind supported for full-text extraction, and it is the only option for use with versions 1.3 and earlier.  Unfortunately, Aperture is no longer in active development, so users with VuFind 1.4 or later are encouraged to use Tika instead (see below).
+Tika is the recommended full-text extraction tool for use with VuFind®.

-==== Troubleshooting Aperture ====
+===== Aperture =====
-Under Linux, there is a known bug with version 1.5.0 which prevents Aperture from running on the command line correctly.  See [[http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3094429&group_id=150969&atid=779500|this page]] for details on the fix (it just involves minor edits to the lcp.sh file).
+:!: Aperture is supported as an alternative to Tika. However, Aperture is no longer in active development, so users are strongly encouraged to use Tika instead (see above).
