Saving multiple figures all at once

I am running a program that generates 50+ figures.

First: Is there a way where I can resize the viewing window for all of the figures without doing it one at a time?

Second: Is there a way I can save them all at once into a PDF? Doing 'File -> Save as...' for each figure gets time consuming.

thanks!

You'll want to do it in a loop. First, make sure you have stored the handles to your figures in a vector.

figures = []; 

% Generate figures
%[your code]

% Resize and output figures
figSize = [21, 29];            % [width, height]
figUnits = 'Centimeters';

for f = 1:numel(figures)

      fig = figures[f];

      % Resize the figure
      set(fig, 'Units', figUnits);
      pos = get(fig, 'Position');
      pos = [pos(1), pos(4)+figSize(2), pos(3)+figSize(1), pos(4)];
      set(fig, 'Position', pos);

      % Output the figure
      filename = sprintf('Figure%02d.pdf', f);
      print( fig, '-dpdf', filename );

end
