用于合并 pdf 内文件夹中的所有图像文件的脚本

Question

I frequently have to merge a lot of images inside a pdf. Naturally, I'd like to automate this a bit. Here are the things I need:

• lossless merge into a pdf
• merge of most common image formats
• natural sorting of numbers ( 1.jpg , 2.jpg , and 10.jpg would be merged in this order, not as 1.jpg 10.jpg 2.jpg )
• can deal with white-spaces in file names

I've come across a solution that works exactly like I'd need it to, but which fails for files containing a white-space in their name.

#!/bin/bash
convert `ls -v *.jpg *.jpeg *.JPG *.JPEG *.png *.PNG *.gif *.GIF *.tiff *.TIFF *.webp *.WEBP *.bmp *.BMP` compilation_images.pdf

I'm a complete noob when it comes to shell scripting, so I apologise in advance if I failed to see an easy solution, but I was unable to find any by myself.

Thanks for your help.

Trying to parse ls is wrong , as you've found out. Assuming you're using GNU versions of utilities as the linux tag usually implies, try something like:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Turn on case-insensitive globs and make ones that
# don't match anything expand to nothing
shopt -s nocaseglob nullglob

readarray -d '' -t images < <(printf "%s\0" *.jpg *.jpeg *.png *.gif *.tiff *.webp *.bmp | sort -Vz)
convert "${images[@]}" compilation_images.pdf

which uses the common trick of separating filenames with nul characters in order to safely handle whitespace when populating a bash array with sorted filenames.
