You almost nailed it:
for i in a b c ; do
txt2pdf -input ${i}.txt -out ${i}.pdf
done
Instead of listing the files manually, you can use '*' as a wildcard.
But that only works if your filenames don't contain whitespace. A more
robust solution:
find /dir/to/files -type f -print0 | \
xargs -0 -I§ txt2pdf -input § -out §.pdf
This will produce filenames like "a.txt.pdf", but you get the idea.
xargs hast the additional benefit that you can use multiple cores at
once when using the -P option.
