The copy command does not recursively copy files, you need to call find first to search for all PDF files, and then copy the files that were found. <br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'd like to copy all the pdfs that reside within all the folders withing one folder.I tried this, but it didn;t work. It says 'no match'.<br />
<br />
cp -r /Users/desiree/Library/Pag<wbr />e\ Sender/In/*.pdf /Users/desiree/Desktop/Pdf<wbr />s<br />
<br />
The computer is an OS X machine not Linux, but that didn't seem to matter much with other commands. :-)<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
