"We have an API for creating PDF from PS files . I can convert single ps file to pdf , but trouble facing when trying to convert batch ps files to pdf"

This kind of workflow comes straight from the 19th century

Ok, for use on a server, you can't use Acrobat (except in the special case of Terminal Server, where each user has an Acrobat license). Server use is not allowed otherwise, and Acrobat is not technically suitable, but Adobe's "Adobe Experience Manager" includes tools for PDF manipulation, for large companies with an enterprise license.

Adobe only provide current products for download or sale. Those you mention are 20 years old and 17 years old. The current product is Acrobat DC, around $15 per month per single user subscription (NOT for server use), which includes the Distiller app.

Distiller 7 was part of Acrobat 7, released 17 years ago. It is not part of the "latest Adobe".
