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.






pdf batch svg

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

            Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

            Image
            6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w
