Hey guys. heres the skinny. I have a huge library and i want to organize it. I want find to go through recursively, and move any "pdf" files it finds to a certain directory. I need an example piece of script on how i would confront this. It will save me hours if not days so thanks in advance.

for f in `find . -name "*pdf"`
do
mv $f /target-directory
done
