Export Multiple Notes to PDF? Pandoc?

[slyfox]

What is the best way to export multiple Markdown files in a folder to (individual) PDF files?

I installed pandoc but I can’t figure out how to:

a) export multiple files to multiple PDF files. The manual seems to focus on merging multiple Markdown files into a single PDF file.

b) keep the same file name - input to output.

You can use variables to do bulk conversion — example here.

Tried using this command

for i in *.md; do pandoc "$i" -t context -o "${i%.md}.pdf"; done 

Result:

pandoc(2911,0x20a683e00) malloc: can't allocate region
:*** mach_vm_map(size=1048576, flags: 100) failed (error code=268435465)

Looks like the error that I am running into is related to pandoc and M1 MacBook Air

For M1 Macs, this works

for f in *.md; do pandoc --pdf-engine=/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex "$f" -s -o "${f%.txt}.pdf"; done
