We are using tika 1.4. Now we need to use PDF Box 2.0.1 for digital signature. I can see that some of the classes of PDF box is used in tika. Is Pdf box part of tika? If so, I needn't add pdf box separately. do I? Is tika 1.13 backward compatible with tika 1.4?

The first version of Apache Tika to bundle Apache PDFBox 2.0 was Apache Tika 1.13, as shown in the Apache Tika latest news on the project homepage

Versions of Apache Tika are generally backwards compatible, any issues are noted in the release changes file

It isn't possible to use PDFBox 2.0 with an old version of Tika like 1.4. If you want to use the latest PDFBox, you must upgrade to a matching newer Tika version

So, you should upgrade your Apache Tika version to a newer one like 1.13, and upgrade all of the Tika dependencies
