Description

Hi guys

I'm trying to use PyPDFLoader according to the official documentation.

I encountered the following error while running this code:

TypeError: PyPDFLoader.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'mode'

It seems there is some inconsistency in the documentation, and I should use PyMuPDFLoader instead of PyPDFLoader, since it has parameters like "mode" and "pages_delimiter".

Could you please correct the documentation?
