How can I convert all .svg files in a directory to .pdf on Linux in the commandline












1















When I have a directory full of .svg files, e.g. from Inkscape, how is it possible to convert them to .pdf files?



Similar to this approach for a single file, but as a batch command for a whole directory.

In this post, the procedure is shown for a single file.



The relevant command is:



rsvg-convert -f pdf -o t.pdf t.svg


For a whole directory, a simple bash script does the job:



for i in *.svg;do rsvg-convert -f pdf -o ${i%.*}.pdf $i;done


This assumes that you have rsvg-convert installed, if not you can get it by typing:



sudo apt-get install librsvg2-bin
