TypeError: Document.show() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given when following pdf ocr tutorial?

[0nobody0]

hello,

was following along with the tutorial at https://www.mindee.com/blog/create-ocrized-pdfs-in-2-steps and ended up with this error after running the script:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/username/doctr/ocr.py", line 29, in <module>
    result.show(docs)
TypeError: Document.show() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

any help is greatly appreciated. here's what i have in ocr.py:

import os
# define output folder
output_folder = "./output/"
output_hocr_folder = output_folder + "hocr/"
output_pdf_folder = output_folder + "pdf/"

os.makedirs(output_hocr_folder,exist_ok=True)
os.makedirs(output_pdf_folder,exist_ok=True)

from doctr.models import ocr_predictor
from doctr.io import DocumentFile

# load image
pdf_path = "./document.pdf"

# extracting text from input image using docTR
docs = DocumentFile.from_pdf(pdf_path)

# load model
model = ocr_predictor(
            det_arch='db_resnet50',
            reco_arch='crnn_vgg16_bn',
            pretrained=True
)

result = model(docs)

# display ocr boxes
result.show(docs)

# export xml file
xml_outputs = result.export_as_xml()
with open(os.path.join(output_hocr_folder,"doctr_image_hocr.xml"),"w") as f :
    f.write(xml_outputs[0][0].decode())

from ocrmypdf.hocrtransform import HocrTransform
output_pdf_path = output_pdf_folder + "hocr_output.pdf"

hocr = HocrTransform(
    hocr_filename=output_pdf_path,
    dpi=300
)

# step to obtain ocirized pdf
hocr.to_pdf(
    out_filename=output_pdf_path,
    image_filename=image_path,
    show_bounding_boxes=False,
    interword_spaces=False,
)

Hi @0nobody0 👋,

The blog post is already really old and outdated please take a look here:
https://colab.research.google.com/github/mindee/notebooks/blob/main/doctr/export_as_pdfa.ipynb

or for other notebooks:
https://mindee.github.io/doctr/notebooks.html

thank you the notebook helped a lot. redid the whole script based off the notebook and used result.show() instead of result.show(docs)
