I just manually edited 200+ .PDF files in gimp and I would like to batch export all of them at once (in .PDF) instead of exporting one by one.

I have the plugin-registry installed, but I'm not sure if I can take advantage of it in this case.

I think what I need is a script / console command, but I know nothing about Python.

Thanks for your help.

I'm having the same problem. My solution was:

  1. copy images to subdirectory
  2. open all copied images and edit them how you want.
  3. use the saveALL.scm script provided below (i can't remember where i found it). this script will overwrite opened files, but will save your edits on all opened images.

  4. if you're like me and you want to the edited output file to be a different format, follow up with ImageMagic and convert all files in the subdirectory using the mogrify function.
