I'm further confused by your choice of variable names. The value assigned to the variable named filename is the pathname of a directory (which I believe is a synonym for folder in your code). The value assigned to the variable named folder is a substring of the value assigned to filename and, if I understand it correctly is also a substring of exactly one PDF file in this directory as well. Is there also supposed to be a directory with a name that exactly matches that substring? Are you trying to copy the PDF file to a regular file with that common substring as its new filename? Are you trying to copy the PDF file into a directory whose name is that common substring?

I'm sorry, but I don't know if you're getting closer. I haven't figured out what directories are involved in what you're trying to do and I haven't figured out what your goals are. I don't even know if you're just trying to move one PDF file or move one PDF file for each directory that is in the directory named /home/cmccabe/folder.
The find was because I thought I needed to perform the action (move or copy) one at a time and wanted to make sure all the names were sorted and trimmed. Thank you very much
