Attach a droplet to a Folder action to run on shared folder

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Greetings!
I’m new to the joys to Applescript.

My situation:
Workstation 1 is a G5 OSX 10.4.11. I created a droplet to preflight PDFs in Acrobat 8 Pro. It works great.
Workstation 2 is a G4 OSX 10.3.9 has only Acrobat 6.

Here is the droplet:


on open these_items
	try
		process_item(these_items)
	end try
end open

-- process the file
on process_item(this_item)
	try
		tell application "Finder"
			set myPath to path to me
		end tell
		with timeout of 1 second
			tell application "Adobe Acrobat Professional"
				activate
				delay 1
				«event PRFLPRFL» this_item given «class PATH»:myPath
			end tell
		end timeout
	end try
end process_item

My goal:
I would like to have both workstations be able to drag and drop a PDF into a shared folder on Workstation 1, and a folder action would run the preflight droplet. The droplet has to run on Workstation 1, which has Acrobat 8 Pro installed.

My question:
Is it possible to create a shared drop folder on Workstation 1 that will run the droplet on files dropped from both workstations (the G5 and the G4)?

Thanks
