File Content Extraction 25.2
Filter SDK Java Programming Guide

# Filtering

Filter SDK enables you to filter many different types of documents. Filtering is the process of extracting the text from a document without the application-specific markup. However, the filtering process can also include the following:

- Subfile extraction—exposes all subfiles for filtering. See Use the File Extraction API.
- File format extraction—detects a file's format, and reports the information to the API, which in turn reports the information to the developer's application. See Obtain Format Information.
- Metadata extraction—extracts selected metadata (document properties) from a file. See Use the Metadata API.
- Character set conversion—controls the character set of the output text. See Character Encoding.
