Subject: [PATCH] BUG: IndexError for getPage() of decryped file (#359)

ISSUE: Problem appears because _flatten() method sets self.flattenedPages before it tries to get pages and doesn't set it back to None in case of error. This PR just makes _flatten() to set self.flattenedPages to an empty array after it successfully got pages.

FIX: Call `self.flattenedPages` after calling `catalog["/Pages"].getObject()`

Closes #327
