PyPDF2 returning blank PDF after copy

问题

def EncryptPDFFiles(password, directory):
    pdfFiles = []
    success = 0

    # Get all PDF files from a directory
    for folderName, subFolders, fileNames in os.walk(directory):
        for fileName in fileNames:
            if (fileName.endswith(".pdf")):
                pdfFiles.append(os.path.join(folderName, fileName))
    print("%s PDF documents found." % str(len(pdfFiles)))

    # Create an encrypted version for each document
    for pdf in pdfFiles:
        # Copy old PDF into a new PDF object
        pdfFile = open(pdf,"rb")
        pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFile)
        pdfWriter = PyPDF2.PdfFileWriter()
        for pageNum in range(pdfReader.numPages):
            pdfWriter.addPage(pdfReader.getPage(pageNum))
        pdfFile.close()

        # Encrypt the new PDF and save it
        saveName = pdf.replace(".pdf",ENCRYPTION_TAG)
        pdfWriter.encrypt(password)
        newFile = open(saveName, "wb")
        pdfWriter.write(newFile)
        newFile.close()
        print("%s saved to: %s" % (pdf, saveName))


        # Verify the the encrypted PDF encrypted properly
        encryptedPdfFile = open(saveName,"rb")
        encryptedPdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(encryptedPdfFile)
        canDecrypt = encryptedPdfReader.decrypt(password)
        encryptedPdfFile.close()
        if (canDecrypt):
            print("%s successfully encrypted." % (pdf))
            send2trash.send2trash(pdf)
            success += 1

    print("%s of %s successfully encrypted." % (str(success),str(len(pdfFiles))))

I am following along with Pythons Automate the Boring Stuff section. I've had off and on issues when doing the copy for a PDF document but as of right now everytime I run the program my copied PDF is all blank pages. There are the correct amount of pages of my newly encrypted PDF but they are all blank (no content on the pages). I've had this happen before but was not able to recreate. I've tried throwing in a sleep before closing my files. I'm not sure what the best practice for opening and closing files are in Python. For reference I'm using Python3.

Try moving the pdfFile.close to the very end of your for loop.

for pdf in pdfFiles:
    #
    # {stuff}
    #
    if (canDecrypt):
        print("%s successfully encrypted." % (pdf))
        send2trash.send2trash(pdf)
        success += 1

    pdfFile.close()

The thought is that the pdfFile needs to be available and open when the pdfWriter finally writes out, otherwise it cannot access the pages to write the new file.
