If your question is: "Can I get PitStop Pro to work with a hotfolder", then the answer is no. Only PitStop Server has this feature.

I imagine a droplet could get the files open in Acrobat when they are dropped in a folder. But that would be all.

I've experimented heavily with command line operations, and I have yet to find any that can initiate a plug-in operation.

If you come to things like Applescript, the limit is that PitStop Pro doesn't provide a dictionary, so an Applescript couldn't eventually drive it. I once tried to use System Events to use pseudo user interaction but it wasn't a success and I quickly move away.

In a more general manner, if the volume starts being consequent, it's likely that PitStop Server is the way to go.

I'm running a very old version of Pitstop, so hopefully this is still relevant. Pitstop quickrun favorites have keyboard shortcuts and appear as menu items. Acrobat javascript and Applescript can invoke menu items, and Applescript can invoke keyboard shortcuts.

Interesting idea. I just gave it a try but Applescript seems inconsistent. Sometimes the shortcut is executed, sometimes it is not. Not sure how bullet proof that could be really.
But happy to be proven wriong.
