I can tell you Acrobat offers no API you can use on a server. Because PDF files may be arbitrarily complex, you can expect wildly variable performance.

You could consider Adobe's PDF Library, which is licensed by DataLogics, who also offer a Java interface https://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf/pdflibrary/
