How to set up a hot folder that automatically exports all incoming pdf files to docx?

[ijwz81931831]

I got a trial version of Acrobat DC going, but I cannot figure out how to do this. Is this even possible?

So it should convert all incoming pdf files that come into this folder into docx and then (if possible) automatically move them to another folder. And if possible delete the original pdf file once this is done.

TIA

Not possible with Acroat alone. You need a 3rd party program.

What program would I need to use? Any pointers on where to look?

Actually there is an Adobe server product, "LiveCycle PDF Generator". Note the FULL name, LiveCycle alone is lots of other things.

Thanks, It looks like a big pain in the ass to setup though. I don't see a download link anywhere, is it a SaaS service?

You install the software on your own server. It has various APIs including Java and (from memory) watched folders. Certainly a big thing to set up and administer. With an enterprise price tag.
