Greetings,

When I issue a command such as:
tar zcvf /var/tmp/SomeArchive.tgz `find . -iname '*pdf' -type f`
This can also introduce some errors cause the command line can be too long to be interpreted.
If the find command returns lto of files, all become part of the command line.

To answer the command line to long to be interpreted, I myself would try a backspace, then enter. Sometimes that works with the shell. I love this question it involves powerful commands and shell commands. :)



Is your goal to create an archive file with all the pdf files?

Maibe a good choise can be

find . -type f -iname "*pdf" -exec tar -Azvf  /var/tmp/SomeArchive.tgz {} \;
