hi @dadoonet I just ran the command to start the fscrawler jobs which is

```auto
bin/fscrawler --debug --restart --config_dir test test_pdf

```

and it gave me the error mentioned above

however I just copied the file from folder with version number 7 and changed it to 8 my error got resolved

do we have any setting to change the confidence level of OCR in fscrawler ??
