When I delete the "δ" in the filename, the script works good.
You may be able to get "δ" (and other Greek characters) to work on your
system with 2.7, but if you want to be able to work with any filename on
Windows, get Python 3.4 or later and use text strings, not byte strings.
You may someday run into a Name-your-title.pdf file name with other
'strange' characters from other
Windows filenames are unicode strings and are stored, I believe, with
utf-16 encoding. Even in early 3.x versions, there were Windows path
problems, for instance with east Asian characters. Multiple 3.x patches
seem to have fixed the problems. So merely using unicode is not, in
general, sufficient.
