batch to convert pdf to jpg command prompt

I don't want to put the destination files in in one directory if you read the main topic I need the files  converted in each sub directory by different for example:
 a directory called "one" and another called "two"
   inside "one" there are these pdf files: 1.pdf, 2.pdf and 3.pdf and the directory "two" has these pdf files other1.pdf and other2.pdf
   These 2 directories are inside c:\data and the batch must convert for example when pass to directory "one" convert the files 1.pdf, 2.pdf and 3.pdf to 1.jpg, 2.jpg and 3.jpg and store in the same "one" directory and when the script pass to directory "two" must convert the other1.pdf and other2.pdf to other1.jpg and other2.jpg and store inside same "two" directory not in other. If in "one and "two" directories there  are .flv or any other extension different than pdf the script must ignore or not convert or touch the file.
   This is an example but c:\data could have hundred of directories not just "one" and "two" and all the files inside each sub directory must respect the location and must be together where the original pdf file reside but never throw in one directory all the conversion.
   Any modification to do this in the main script I posted?
   Thank you

you mean that search file and convert it to jpg file and put at the same location, right ?

well if the word search apply is search but for example when you use copy *.do  c:\ it grab just the .doc files to c:\ but maybe is not a kind of search but if apply the word is ok. In what I need is for each subdirectory convert only the pdf files and convert to jpg and store in same sub directory where pdf is and the rest of other extensions must be ignored and on that way for all sub directories inside c:\data
Thank you

So just, you mean that search pdf files at c: drive  and convert it to jpg files and save them at the same location they are converted from.

Duncan

not c: is c:\data and inside c:\data there are a lot of subdirectories the pdf "search" must be in all subdirectories inside c:\data for example search in c:\data\one in c:\data\two and so on there are hundred of sub directories there, "one" and "two" are not real could be any name in that hundred of directories inside c:\data
Thank you

You want the mogrify command, not convert, because mogrify accepts a wildcard. This command should do it for you:

For /R C:\data %%I IN DO (.) mogrify -format jpg *.pdf

Select allOpen in new window

try this code, do it in example files and directory first, it will work,

@echo off
forfiles /p "c:\data" /s /m *.pdf  /C "cmd /c echo @path ">junk.txt
for /f "tokens=1 delims=." %%F in ('type junk.txt') do (convert %%F.pdf" %%F.jpg")
del junk.txt

Select allOpen in new window

I should have mentioned that <mogrify.exe> is in the same ImageMagick install folder as <convert.exe>, but you probably figured that out already. :)  However, the one-line code I posted is wrong. I'm very sorry about that — I feel really bad. Here's code that I just tested with mogrify and it works fine:

FOR /R "d:\0tempd\test\" %%I in (.) DO (
 Pushd %%I
 mogrify -format jpg *.pdf
 Popd )

Once again, I apologize for the previous bad code. Regards, Joe

joe winograd I used your line and appears is bad formatted say:
do was unexpected at this time and like that if you make work sure go to search in subdirectories? Looks great I changed the IN DO (.) by IN (.) DO and does more but I see not go to inside sub directories to conver the files the error say:

mogrify: unable to open image `*.pdf': Invalid argument @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/
2587.

   And that means is looking inside c:\data but not inside the subdirectories could you check I like mogrify.

duncanb7 why you use the del command? if it is just convert? don't want to destroy any data is a server.

del command , just delete junk.txt temp file only after finishing all convert, that file
is not related to convert

I have checked the script is working I used "copy" to simulate "convert" effect

Duncan

Both scripts worked is just needed to run in my case in c:\ if I run from c:\temp for example not work but from c:\ all perfect.
Thank you

> if I run from c:\temp for example not work

Hmmm, I don't understand that. I haven't tried Duncan's solution, but I can tell you that mine should work fine running from c:\temp (in my test, I used d:\0tempd\test and it worked fine). In any case, you're welcome — and I'm glad you got it working! Regards, Joe

I opened this new question just for a modification if you can help there:
