There is FileNames[], StringReplace[], NotebookOpen[], Export[] &
SetDirectory[] ....  

In a fresh notebook, have you tried something like

SetDirectory["directory where my notebooks live"];
ifile = FileNames["*.nb"];
ofile = StringReplace[#, {"nb"->"PDF"}]& /@ ifile;
(
	inb = NotebookOpen[ifile[[#]]];
	Export[ofile[[#]], inb]
)& /@ Range@Length@ifile;

YMMV depending on exactly what you want to do before saving the notebooks.

Regards,

Dave.
