I am looking for a way of automating a manual conversion of directories containing images (jpgs & pngs) into PDF's. For example ..

I currently use the following command to achieve what I want but I have to do this manually for each directory so it can become a little time consuming, etc

convert DIRECTORY1/*jpg DIRECTORY1.pdf
convert DIRECTORY2/*jpg DIRECTORY2.pdf
convert DIRECTORY3/*png DIRECTORY3.pdf

I would like a way of converting all the directories in the current location to individual pdf files at once.

Any help would be appreciated.

Something like will walk in the tree, extract directories and do the conversion. Be aware this can have problems with directory names which contain space or special symbols:

for i in `find . -type d`
do
convert "${i}/*jpg" "${i}/*png" ${i}.pdf
done
