Done it

Don't worry I've found a solution. (Well I got a UNIX guru in my office to do it.)

It pipes the destination directory as well by the way.

(
find source-directory -name "*.pdf"
echo desitnation-directory
)
| xargs cp

Just in case you are ever in the same situation!

icmstart.rc(7)						      icmstart resource file						    icmstart.rc(7)

NAME
icmstart.rc - The icmstart(1) resource file DESCRIPTION
The icmstart.rc file defines the initial files of a program that are installed by icmstart(1). By default icmstart.rc is found in /etc/icmake/icmstart.rc, but if a file $HOME/.icmake/icmstart.rc is found then the latter file is used by icmstart(1). $HOME/.icmake/icmstart.rc in turn is overruled by specifying a -c option when invoking icmstart(1). The default resource file contains the following specifications, preparing for the construction of a C++ program using icmbuild(1): CLASSES P main.cc P main.ih P usage.cc P version.cc P ? scanner P ? parser The icmstart.rc file may contain: o empty lines, which are ignored; o lines beginning with a hash-character (#), also ignored; o Optionally: a P (don't install with icmstart xxx library) or an L (don't install with icmstart xxx program), followed by a blank; see also icmstart(1). o Optionall: a ? (followed by a blank) following the optional P or L in which case the installation of the element must be confirmed by the user. o Source path names. Relative path names are interpreted relative to the current working directory. Environment variables are not expanded, the initial tilde character is interpreset as the user's home directory. o Source path names followed by a destination (relative to the directory initialized by icmstart(1)). A source path may be either a file or a directory. If a directory is specified then all files in and below that directory will be installed. When specifying a destination a path may be specified as well. However, the destination path is always interpreted relative to the instal- lation directory specified when calling icmstart(1). If a destination is omitted, the source is installed as specified below icmstart(1)'s destination directory. EXAMPLES
The following entries can be used in an icmstart.rc file: o source `Source' must be in the skeleton directory visited by icmstart(1) and is installed as source in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1). o source dest `Source' must be in the skeleton directory visited by icmstart(1) and is installed as dest in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1). o ~/path `~/path' is installed as ~/path in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1). The ~-character is expanded to the user's home directory. o ~/path dest `~/path' is installed as dest in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1). The ~-characteris expanded to the user's home directory. o /path `/path' is installed as ./path in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1). o /path dest `/path' is installed as dest in the destination directory o ? source The user must confirm the installation of source. o ? source dest The user must confirm the installation of source as dest in the destination directory specified when calling icmstart(1). o # text Interpreted as comment and ignored. The #-character must be the first character on the line. o an empty line Empty lines are skipped. FILES
The mentioned paths are sugestive only and may be installation dependent: o /usr/share/icmake/icmconf Example of an icmbuild configuration file; o /usr/share/icmake/CLASSES Example of an icmbuild CLASSES file. o /usr/share/icmake/icmstart.rc Default skeleton resource file. SEE ALSO
