automate multiple jpg to single pdf

I have a system that exports submitted electronic forms to
jpg. It exports it by document_type_submissionID_PageNumber.jpg (example of a three-page
document: insurance_enrollment_432_1.jpg, insurance_enrollment_432_2.jpg,
insurance_enrollment_432_3.jpg). The submission ID is unique to each document
submitted. I need an automated way to look at the folder that these documents
are submitted to, analyze the name of the documents and combine them based on
the submission ID so that all every document that gets submitted is converted
and combined to a PDF. Can Adobe Acrobat Pro DC do this?

Acrobat can combine multiple files to a single PDF, but it can't do it automatically. The process has to be triggered manually.

It would also involve at least two steps: An Action to scan the folder and a script to merge the files.

In short, a standalone application is a better option than Acrobat for this task.
