I am converting certain files that are FTP'd into a certain folder to postscript (already figured this part out). I want minimal to zero manual intervention and need help triggering this action based on when the files arrive in the Folder. Any ideas ? I am using Acrobat Pro DC.

Not possible with Acrobat. It doesn't have a "watched folder" functionality, but Distiller does. It only works with local folders, though. I don't think you can set it up to watch an FTP folder.

Ok..makes sense. So then how would I  set Distiller to watch a Local Folder and trigger corresponding Actions in Acrobat DC ?

Distiller converts only Postscript files into PDF!

Not possible. The only thing Distiller does is convert PostScript files to PDFs.

What kind of action do you want to perform in Acrobat, anyway?
