How to automate the export of books to pdfs

[albmig]

Hi everyone!

Given a "root" folder, is there a plugin/script which iterates in the subfolders and exports the indb files into pdf (with a preset) in the book's folder?
Thanks to all of you! This could be very useful to me!!!

Thank you so much!!
Can I suggest an enhancement? The creation of a log file to manage the book errors while exporting, but it is perfect!

Any issues running this in Big Sur? We are seeing some unexpected results, namely not all of the assets being collected and some of them get duplicated.

Can you be more specific? "Not all of the assets being collected" -- what kind of links are not collected? What is the state of the links? Are they out of date? Are the assets present? And which ones are duplicated?

Maybe contact me directly. My email is on the script's page.
