Automatic batching processing

I would like to OCR a batch of PDF automatically. A new batch of files will be created everyday. The best practice should use the batching processing. However, I have to run the batch processing tools everyday by myself.
May I know that is there any scripts or tools for automatically run the batch processing when Windows startup, or start batch processing when a new file is created in a dedicated folder?
 
Thanks for help.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.0, Windows

Hi vincentcklau03,

No, Batch Processes cannnot be run without user intervention in Acrobat- you must run them manually. There are third party tools you can purchase that will do this, but not with Acrobat alone.

Hope this helps,

Hi vincentcklau03,

I don't use any of those prodcuts but if you do a Google search for "pdf processing server tools" you should come up with a few good ones.

Hope this helps,
