Enfocus SWITCH can automate it. Depending on what you need to do with the PDF exporting Axaio MadeToPrint Auto XT may be advantageous as part of SWITCH.

Switch will do this. If you need more processing done (trap rip etc...) you might want to take a look at eskoartworks Odystar also. Same company.

Or if your requirements are really as simple as making PDFs and uploading them to an FTP site, it can be done in AppleScript.

Check out PDF Server from Global Graphics (Harlequin):

gDoc PDF Server

This software can automatically create PDFs from a variety of users and upload them to an FTP site depending on location, printer, etc.

Seems like a simple AppleScript would work. And that's free.
