Adobe Acrobat (at least version 3 that I used at my last job) had the
ability to specify a work directory, into which you could copy postscript
files, and Acrobat would run PDF conversions on a scheduled basis. Finished
PDFs would be placed into an output directory. You could also manually
select more than one .ps file to convert at a time.

This sounds like what you need to do.

what we're going to be doing is converting a very large number of documents
(potentially 1600/month), some of which have 25+ pages.  because of this, it
doesn't work to convert them all separately, so we want to save all the
files out to a directory (either as a word or a postscript document) and
then have a conversion utility go to this directory, run through it, and
spit out .pdf files without anybody having to do anything other than kick it
off each day.
