Converting multiple latex files to pdf
Hi everybody! This is my first post. I am a student and I'm familiarizing myself with linux.

I have lots of directories each containing file called "zadaci.latex". I want to convert them to pdf's and rename them to <directory_name>.pdf.

I read alot on this forum and came up with this script:

#! /bin/bash

Code:
for file in *; do
    if [ -d $file ]; then
       latex $file/zadaci.latex
       dvipdf $file/zadaci.dvi
       mv $file/zadaci.dvi $file/$file.pdf
    fi
done

But latex command creates a file in directory where this script is and man page for latex is not very helpful.
Can somebody help with this?

And is there a solution that uses "find | xargs"?
