1. Re: Specify a Watched Folder in a script?
A couple of points. Where is the Watched Folder going to reside? Do each and every computer accessing the folder have a full license for the current version of Acrobat?

2. Re: Specify a Watched Folder in a script?
The folder will be in /var
Only the local machine will access the folder, so yes, they will need Distiller on each machine. I'm not trying to setup a PDF-making server.
I'm trying to create a package installer for a CUPS backend that prints PostScript to disk. Ideally, if Distiller exists, then the spool folder will be watched by Distiller.
Therefore, I want to know if it is possible to specify a Watched folder in any scriptable way.
Otherwise, I'll have to use pstopdf and let users deal with Acrobat manually. Which is sub-optimal.

From just looking, the Watch folder will have to be created on each machine from within Distiller.

Well, that's what I had concluded. I was just checking whether anyone knew something different.
How might your answer have differed, if I answered with a different location for the Watched Folder?

The location is not the problem. It was just from the description of the creation process from the Distiller help file. And reading the Distiller Applescript Dictionary.
