static void DoMoveFiles(string sourceFolder, string targetBaseFolder)
{
    var rx = new Regex(@"(?\d{4}\-[a-z]+\-\d{1,2}\-\d{1,2})(?\-\s\d+)?", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
    foreach(var fn in Directory.GetFiles(sourceFolder, "*.pdf"))
    {
        var mt = rx.Match(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fn));
        if (mt.Success)
        {
            var path = Path.Combine(targetBaseFolder, mt.Groups["base"].Value);
            if (!Directory.Exists(path))
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
            }
            File.Move(fn, Path.Combine(path, Path.GetFileName(fn)));
        }
        else
        {
            // oops ... file named odd
        }
    }
