How to load PDF in web application file without open it?

Question

Is there a way to write a web application (asp.net) that load pdf file, read its fields, edit the fields and save the documents with a new name?
The C# examples that exist in the SDK are not web example and used to open the PDF file. This behavior can cause a bed performance in web applications

Yes, it's possible to write a web application that does this but NOT using Acrobat.

Years ago, it became clear that in a web server each separate person connecting to the ASP would be a separate user for whom you'd have to buy a license. Because of the difficulty of counting and the sheer expense, Adobe decide to just forbid web use. Look for software with a licensing model suitable for web server use.

Adobe LiveCycle Forms may offer what you want. Note the name is "LiveCycle Forms" - this is entirely separate from the end user product "LiveCycle Designer". Price by negotiation, expect 5-6 figures.
