Compile all tex files in a directory

Question

If I do pdflatex *.tex in a directory, only one tex file is compiled. Which syntax should I use that all *.tex files in the directory are compiled?

Answer 1

try

for file in *.tex; do pdflatex "$file"; done

Answer 2

pdflatex apparently only takes one argument. I can think of using find -exec

find -name '*.tex' -maxdepth 1 -exec pdflatex {} \;

But there may be better alternatives.
