Hi Thamme, I did minimal changes to the TesseractOCRParser class. I basically changed the doOCR() private method. But the existing unit tests get failed even though the content and metadata get extracted. Could you provide me with any guidance on resolving these errors by running the test cases. I also added some dependencies to the pom.xml in parsers. please check the links below.
