Xournalpp: Export xopp file to pdf from command line

Created on 2 Jan 2019 · 4Comments · Source: xournalpp/xournalpp

Is it possible to export a xopp file to pdf from commandline? In my case I have a directory containing many xopp files which I want to convert to pdf. To do this I have to open every file and click each time on the export button.

Something like:

for file in *xopp;
do xournalpp --export $file;
done

would be much more elegant.

If not, I think this would be a nice feature for the future.

Show the help. The texts are in your local language, if supported.

xournalpp -p pdffile.pdf yourfile.xopp

So you can do your batch conversion.

I just wanted to open a feature request for this on my own, since xournalpp -p file.xopp didn't work. Please add to the comandline help xournalpp -h how to use the options (which parameters are nessacary)

Indeed it would be nice if we had a version of this switch which simply replaces .xopp with .pdf instead of asking for a pdf file name. It would be much nicer for batch conversion.
