How to find the specific files and export them to another directory?

Anybody can help me modify the code that I am trying to find the specific files and export them to another directory?

attribute.py 
import os
import shutil

dst = r"D:\Survey_Home\DestTest"
src = r"D:\Survey_Home\3000pointsTOM_PDF"

for root, dirs, files in os.walk("D:\Survey_Home"):
    for file in files:
        if file.endswith(".pdf"):
            print file
##         src = os.path.join(root, file)
##         print src
src_files = os.listdir(src)
print src_files
for file_name in src_files:
    full_file_name = os.path.join(src, file_name)
    if (os.path.isfile(full_file_name)):
        shutil.copy(full_file_name, dst)
print 'copying pdf', src_files, 'to DestTest'

This doesn't seem to be related to the "View Challenge" link. Is this a school homework assignment?
