Moving files, automatically

Question

I'am looking for a way to move files from one folder to another, either by using the Rules Engine, or eg the distributions service. One example could be when changing status, moving the file to another folder ? Anybody tried this ?

Hi Paul, 
 
As of right now there is nothing in PW that will move a file. The reason behind this is because a move is essentially a copy and delete, and there is nothing in the PW code that will do a massive delete without the user's interaction which is how PW has always been. The only way to "move" would be to use Distribution or iCS to copy the files and then any user would have to go in and manually delete the file. 
 
Also for your knowledge, Distribution will no longer be offered as a product in the next release of PW. iCS for PDF has replaced this and does a much better job because it can scale out and performance is much better. Supporting both, iCS is a cake walk compared to the pains myself and users have gone through with it over the years. 
 
Thanks, 
Marty
