Using multiple epstopdf command
 

Hi,

I've installed epstopdf and can get it to work for one file at a time. But I have about 100 *.eps files which I want to convert to *.pdf using this command. How could I get linux to find all *.eps files in the directory and repeat the command for each converting them to *.pdf?

At the moment the command that works for me is,

$ epstopdf file.eps

And works for one file

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Shane

Thanks for your help,

Shane
