For my publications, I'm using Inkscape to create vector graphics in svg format and finally, I convert them to pdf format in order to import them into a latex document. Lot of times the amount of graphic files in a document are very huge. So everytime I make a correction in svg file I have to re-convert it to correspoding pdf. To avoid this, I took advantage of the inkscape's powerful CLI and wrote the following all_svg2pdf script in Python language.

Download all_svg2pdf.py

The script finds all svg files in a root folder and below it, and converts them to corresponding pdf files without using Inkscape's GUI.

You can use the script freely, and modify it to your needs. Be sure that Inkscape has been installed to your machine. You can check this, by giving the following terminal command:

~$ which inkscape 
/usr/bin/inkscape	# You will see this output if inkscape is present

If not, you can install it through the following terminal command:

~$ sudo apt-get install inkscape

Windows users have to add Inkscape's executable path into %PATH system variable manually.
