img2pdf batch script
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I currently have over 10K folders. Each folder has .png and .jpg images that need to be turned into .pdf files. Files are numerically in order already.
I am looking for speed. I can currently cd into each folder and run
img2pdf * -o out.pdf
And I get a perfectly created out.pdf in less than a second, even with several hundred images.
My end goal is to automate this in a shell script that can be invoked, so each folder is basically turned into a .pdf file with the filename the same as the old directory like so
Directory001/img001.jpg
img002.jpg
img003.jpg
OtherDirectory/img1.png
img2.png
img3.png
becomes
Directory001.pdf
OtherDirectory.pdf
while only use img2pdf to do this, as it is by far the fastest way create the pdfs. I have some simple bash experience, but only with simple one liners (like turning all directories to zips). I know this can be done, but have no idea where to begin.

To batch a command over a lot of files or directories, you often use find -exec like this :
find . -type d -exec "img2pdf" ""/* -o "".pdf ";"
this method is the most flexible, but in your case, you could as well use a simple loop :
for i in ./*/
do img2pdf "$i"/* "$i.pdf"
done
