PyPDF 2 Decrypt Not Working

Answer 1

To Answer My Own Question: If you have ANY spaces in your file name, then PyPDF 2 decrypt function will ultimately fail despite returning a success code. Try to stick to underscores when naming your PDFs before you run them through PyPDF2.

For example,

Rather than "FDJKL492019 21490 ,LFS.pdf" do something like "FDJKL492019_21490_,LFS.pdf".
