| Apr 11, 2020 at 20:04 | comment | added | Larry | I think you're trying to get zip to act like a data base, in that you're asking multiple zips running at the same time to add PDF files to the same zip file, like adding rows in parallel to a data base. Zip doesn't haven any mechanism (nor does tar) to allocate an unknown amount of disk space to a zip file in order to add one PDF file, so that it doesn't interfere with another PDF file. Even if zip files could be concatenated you'd either have to concatenate one at a time, obviating the need for GNU parallel, or have zip allocate the unknown amount of disk space for each PDF. | |

[off topic] for your example, you can avoid the ls with parallel "zip {}.zip {} ::: *.pdf

Also: why not zip all.zip *.pdf and be done with it?

| Mar 3, 2020 at 19:37 | comment | added | Jeff Schaller♦ | What's the requirement on the other end? Can they use unix.stackexchange.com/q/4367/117549 or do you need all of the native PDF files as-is in a top-level zip file? | |
