Way to export a whole vault as an pdf?

Now obsidian has a built-in print to PDF feature that works much better than this solution, I'd recommend using that over this. That or figuring out how to call the print function in the obsidian API and looping over that. Otherwise, I'd just make a bash wrapper that iterated over every file in the vault.

Yes, I saw that.

Actually, the issue is exporting all the PDFs in the sequence of the files. Now, let's say we've folders and notes in them and everything is nested. What will we do in that case?
