You can delinearize a single file from commandline using this syntax:
pdfedit -console delin <input.pdf> <output.pdf>
Delinearization en-masse is not supported by pdfedit itself, but you can
what add simple batch script that will call pdfedit for each PDF file, like
this:
#!/bin/sh
mkdir output
for i in *.pdf
do
pdfedit -console delin "$i" "output/$i"
done
This will make directory "output" and delinearize all PDF files in current
directory, putting the delinearized versions in the "output" directory.
Just run the script and wait for pdfedit to do its job :)
Note, that delinearization will fail for non-linearized documents, so you
will have to manually copy already-delinearized documents in the output
directory if there were any.
