Basically i want a program that will monitor a folder on my hard drive, and

If you're using Windows, have a look at DirMonitor here:

It will let you launch a batch file every time a file is moved to a
watched folder. Your batch file would be very similar to Hans-
Werner's shell script example, using the Windows binary of pdftotext
available here:

You won't have nice tools like awk on Windows, but you might be able
to get by with findstr, which allows regex searches. If not, there
are Windows ports of many of the *nix tools available, such as awk and
grep, or you could certainly do it with the new Windows PowerShell,
available for free from M$.
