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

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
