UnicodeDecodeError occured using tesseract OCR in python 3.1

Question

I'm trying to make a text recognition program and caught this error.

here's the code:

from PIL import Image
import pytesseract

print("Enter File/Folder's Full Path")
file = input('> ')
print("Enter output Folder") 
outfol = input('> ')  
print() print('Converting...') 
print()  
os.system('cd /d ' + outfol) 
pdf = pytesseract.image_to_pdf_or_hocr(file, extension='pdf', config='--psm 1') 
with open('test.pdf', 'w+b') as f:     
    f.write(pdf) # pdf type is bytes by default  print()

here's the error on the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 109: invalid start byte

i've tried adding encoding='utf-8' in pytesseract.image_to_pdf_or_hocr

it returned : TypeError: image_to_pdf_or_hocr() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encoding'

btw I'm a new learner
