How to apply a For Loop in python while writing in a text file

I am a new learner in python and got stuck while working with For Loop. I am trying to get the Document information of some pdf files and write down the Information in a text file. During Execution it shows all the file names in the output window, but writes only single file data if I want to write it in a text file.

import PyPDF2
import os

d = "C:\\New folder"
for filename in os.listdir(d):
        a = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(d + "\\" + filename, strict= False)
        c = a.getDocumentInfo()
        g = filename + " : " + str(c)
        print(g)
        with open("check.txt", "w") as f:
                f.writelines(g + "\n")

Use a list.

import PyPDF2
import os

d = "C:/Users/Abhi/Downloads/pdf"
g_list = []
for filename in os.listdir(d):
        a = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(d + "\\" + filename, strict= False)
        c = a.getDocumentInfo()
        g = filename + " : " + str(c)
        g_list.append(g)

with open("check.txt", "w") as file:
        file.write("\n".join(item for item in g_list))

Output:-
