Handling exception from a module

[dchi2]

The if statement on line 23 is there because of the uncaught exceptions, I wanted to suppress the exception text and go straight to the else on line 26

import argparse, os, pdftitle, re

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Generate filenames from PDF titles.')
parser.add_argument('path', help='Starting folder path')
parser.add_argument('-r', '--rename', action='store_true', help='Rename files (otherwise just display)')
args = parser.parse_args()

def pdf_recurse(SrcFolder):

    for FileName in os.listdir(SrcFolder):
        FilePath = SrcFolder + '\\' + FileName
        if os.path.isdir(FilePath):
            pdf_recurse(FilePath)
        else:
            FileExt = FilePath[-3:]
            if FileExt.lower() == 'pdf':                
                PdfTitle = ""
                try:
                    PdfTitle = pdftitle.run(FilePath)

                    print(FilePath)
                    print("an exception occurred")
                if PdfTitle == "" or PdfTitle == 1:
                    print(FilePath)
                    print("Could not read")

    NewName = re.sub('[^\w_.)( -]', '', ReadTitle) + '.pdf'
    return NewName
