Seeking Assistance with PowerShell Script for Automatic Handling of PDF Files

Dear Microsoft Community,

I hope this message finds you well.

I'm reaching out to seek help and advice regarding a PowerShell script I've been working on. I'm relatively new to PowerShell scripting and I'm attempting to create a script that automates the process of moving PDF files from one location to another.

Here's an overview of what the script should achieve:

Objective: I want to create a script that continuously monitors a specific folder for new PDF files. Upon detecting a new PDF file, the script should automatically move it from the source folder to a designated destination folder.

Script Details:

1. The source folder is located at: D:\Downloads
   
2. The destination folder is: F:\PDF_Files
   
3. The script should perpetually monitor the source folder for new PDF files.
   
4. When a new PDF file is created in the source folder, the script should initiate its move to the destination folder.
   

Challenges: I've attempted to implement the script using the FileSystemWatcher class and event handling in PowerShell. However, I've encountered challenges in getting the script to function as intended. Despite my efforts, the script doesn't appear to be moving PDF files as desired.

Request for Assistance: I kindly request assistance from the community to review and help troubleshoot my PowerShell script. If anyone has experience with similar scripts or insights into what might be causing the issue, your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Code Sample:

Technical Implementation: In addition to seeking guidance on the script itself, I would greatly appreciate advice on how to deploy and run this script as a Windows service. I'm looking to ensure that the script runs continuously in the background, even after a system restart. Any assistance or resources on how to achieve this would be extremely helpful.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

I look forward to your insights and suggestions.

Best regards
