If you are on Linux, you might consider using inofitywait in your main section.
Something like :
Code:
#!/bin/bash
DIR=/dir/to/watch
inotifywait -m -e create --format %f $DIR | while read File
do
	case ${File##*.} in
	[Pp][Dd][Ff])
		printf "%s\n" "Found pdf file $File with ext ${File##*.}" # here you will call function per detected pdf filename, log, handle errors
	;;
	esac
done

monitor

MONITOR(8)						      System Manager's Manual							MONITOR(8)

NAME

       monitor - Directory Server script for monitoring database performance

SYNOPSIS

       monitor [ -Z serverID ] [ -D rootdn ] [ -w password ] [ -b basedn ] [-P protocol] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       Retrieves performance monitoring information. To run this script, the server must be running.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below:

       -Z Server Identifier
	      The server ID of the Directory Server instance.  If there is only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.

       -D Root DN
	      The Directory Manager DN, or root DN.  If not specified, the script will search the server instance configuration for the value.

       -w password
	      The rootdn password.

       -b basedn
	      The DN of a backend from cn=config.

       -P Protocol
	      The  connection  protocol  to  connect  to the Directory Server.	Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP.  If this option is
	      skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used.  For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.

       -h
	      Display the usage.

EXAMPLE

       monitor -P STARTTLS

	      Note: security must be enabled to use protocol STARTTLS.	If STARTTLS is not available it will default to  next  strongest/available
	      protocol automatically.

       monitor -Z instance2 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -b 'cn=monitor,cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config'

	      Note: You only need to bind as the root DN if you want to look at a backend monitor.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Exit status is zero if no errors occur.	Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
