Printing massive number of files into pdf

Hey guys I need to print a project that I wrote in C to PDF format, The problem is that I have a lot of files that sit in different directories and I don't want to print it one by one using Ubuntu text editor.

I did a little research and found that I need to use lpr shell commend with cat(recursively) but I don't understand how to use it to print to PDF.

can any1 help me?

edit1:

when I try to do something like cat * | lpr - P PDF I'm getting the next error: lpr: The printer or class does not exist.

You could also look at the enscript program.

Try a2ps.

GNU a2ps is an Any to PostScript filter. Of course it processes plain text files, but also pretty prints quite a few popular languages.

you could install cups-pdf then do

cat filename.c | lpr -P PDF

this puts a pdf file in your ~/PDF
