Pdf Reading and Form Filling for .NET MVC

Hi all,

 

I need to be able to read the contents of a pdf and populate an existing pdf form fields from a pdf template form file using .NET MVC. I've been able to accomplish both tasks locally with acrobat DC's SDK but they both open acrobat DC when run and I don't think that will work on an IIS server. I think I may have misunderstood adobe's documentation when paying for a DC license.

 

I'm developing a commercial website so I'm unable to use many of the open source pdf libraries. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    I can confirm that the Acrobat SDK is unsuitable because Acrobat is an end user tool, with single user license, not for server use. Adobe's AEM includes some form APIs, this is enteprise level stuff of which we really know very little.

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Acrobat forum so that proper help can be offered.
