Hi ,  
Looking at this

> [@Parsing and indexing documents with Apache Tika](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/parsing-and-indexing-documents-with-apache-tika/292):

> Hello everyone, I'm trying to parse and index .doc files into elasticsearch with apache Tika. Actually, my project is to build a resume search engine for my company. Since we have a standardized resume format, I would like to parse these resume using apache tika in Java. Basically I have a .doc file like this : Jean Wisser avenue des Ternes 75017 Paris Business Intelligence Consultant …

And I can see it's good for attaching one file at a time.  
And wondering if I can use the above mentioned Mapper Attachments Plugin to index a folder full of PDF files (upload all pdf files attachments?). In order to be able to query the content of all files.

thanks
