    #get all pdf files in "d:\download\ creqated in last 12 hours
$Files = Get-ChildItem "d:\download\*.pdf" | Where {$_.CreationTime -gt (Get-Date).AddHours(-12)}

#Move files to "D:\PDF files\"
ForEach ($File in $Files) {
Move-Item -Path $File.FullName -Destination "D:\PDF files\"
}

    then create a scheduled task to run the script twice a day
