Automate digital signing of PDF documents

I have an application that exports Access reports to a PDF file format using conversion code from Steve Lebans. At the end of the day, a number of PDF files exist in a "To Be Signed" folder. After the user then reviews the reports, I would like to have a process kick off near close of day that looks for the presence of any PDF files in the "To Be Signed" folder, automatically applies a digital signature to each document, and moves the signed documents to a "Signed" folder. The digital signature was created using Adobe Acrobat and is a .pfx file. Currently, the user has to use Adobe Acrobat's manual signing procedure to apply the signature. Does anyone know of a way to automate this signing process using Access 2003?

One other thing I would like to do is have this automated process apply to multiple folders under the "To Be Signed" folder and move the documents to multiple corresponding folders under the "Signed" folder.

Thank you for any help you can give!
