Ubuntu pdftoppm converting pdf to png

Question

In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I use pdftoppm to convert pdf files to png files one by one like the code given below:

pdftoppm -rx 300 -ry 300 -png XYZ.pdf XYZ

However, I have to convert many pdf files to png files. I wonder if it is possible to convert many pdf files to png files with single command like

pdftoppm -rx 300 -ry 300 -png *.pdf *

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

You can use simple for loop:

#!/bin/bash

for i in *.pdf; do
   pdftoppm -png -rx 300 -ry 300 $i ${i%.pdf*}
done
