I'm trying to use Headless Chrome to re-print a pdf file from a pdf file.

I've tried several variations of this:
chrome --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf=E:/Python/Working/foo_flat3.pdf file://E:/Python/Working/foo_flat2.pdf
chrome --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf=E:/Python/Working/foo_flat3.pdf "E:/Python/Working/foo_flat2.pdf"
And no PDF file is generated. When I use a webpage, for example:
chrome --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf=E:/Python/Working/foo_flat3.pdf https://www.google.com/
It functions as intended, and "foo_flat3.pdf" is generated.
Why am I doing this? I'm trying to make use of Chrome's ability to unlock and flatten pdf files, as it is the fastest option I've found. If there's other options, I would be interested in those too.
