Help (EOF marker not found) - SkunT3llo - Jun 29, 2021

Hello to everyone, I need help about this little python script...

Basically I wanted to go thru my files and check which PDFs are password encrypted, but running this script, after 5 seconds I get this error:"PyPDF2.utils.PdfReadError: EOF marker not found"

Code 
import PyPDF2

import os

directory = "G:\PDFs"

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(directory):

    for file in files:

        if file.endswith((".pdf")):

            selected = root + "\\" + file

            pdfFile = open(selected, "rb")

            pdfRead = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFile)

            if pdfRead.isEncrypted == True:

                print(selected)

PyPDF2 seems to be unmaintained for like 5 years.

There's a bunch of unmaintained libraries that also seem to have a problem with malformed/missing EOF markers.

I'd use a maintained library like pdfminer or pikepdf. They look like they don't have any glaring issues.

Thank You for suggestion, will try it...
