Thanks guys. But none of your suggestions solve the whole problem (some don't include OCR, some support only limited file types and other). I'd like to have a black box that does everything for me (does OCR if needed, extracts pds, docs, txts and others).

But I'm afraid there's no such solution...

Tika, pdftotext, lynx (html), tesseract (ocr)

It's very difficult to combine it together, as documents in different types has a lot of edge cases

Yeah, it's a beat effort deal, but a pretty reliable one (except maybe tesseract-ocr)

I'm afraid I may be late to the party, but I've seen https://github.com/openpaperwork/paperwork before and it looked like a good solution for this. Never tried though.

It's not an enterpise class solution ;(

What makes an enterprise class solution ?
