I use this script:
---------------------
objList = context.ZopeFind(context, search_sub=1)

p = 0
u = 0
for obj in objList:

    try:
        context.portal_workflow.doActionFor(obj[1], 'des2pusd', \
                        comment='published automatically by manager')
        print "Published object: ", obj[1].absolute_url()
        p = p + 1
    except:
        print "Could not publish object: ", obj[1].absolute_url()
        u = u + 1

print '\nTotal number of published objects: ', p
print 'Total number of unpublished objects: ', u

return printed
---------------------

where des2pusd is the transaction to get documents from a 'Design' state to
the 'Published' state.
