Adobe Acrobat is not for server use.

Adobe Acrobat SDK is free. It contains documentation and include files for plug-in development.

Thanks for the reply, here is what i am trying to do:

Create pdf documents with form elements and text. Get the input from user in text boxes, dropdown etc.

Save the form with input and also save the textboxes data in Database.

It also involves editing the pdf programmatically in C# and add/delete some sections and images in pdf.

My application will need to do all this using SDK. All i need is a pro version of Adobe Acrobat DC aap.

My clients will use free version to input the data in the form.

For all this i only need one license of Adobe Acrobat DC pro version?

That's it or i need other licensing.

Please guide...

If the creation takes place on a server you Must Not use Acrobat. The Acrobat SDK is therefore no use to you.

Then what i need to use and what is the licensing cost?

Afobe's PDF Library can do this. License fee is negotiated for each case but expect many times the cost of Acrobat and a royalty component. Also, C++ not C#. It is a low level library and your task would be challenging especially if you do not know PDF intervals well.

Probably you you need a non-Adobe solution, which is outside the scope if this forum.

Supriya, i checked that pdflibrary is not providing the solution as i needed.

Like i design a pdf with plaintext and form elements like text boxes, dropdown lists and check boxes.

Enduser will enter his text in form elements and save the pdf.

PDF get saved with user entered data and also the form fields data need to be saved in DB.

I go through the samples provide by datalogics but couldn't found any related to form elements or form API.

Could you please help?

Fasi59,

The form you are referring to can be created in Live Cycle and as an example for the same you may refer to the article in the link below:

Connecting a Form to a Database 

Let me know if it helps.

Thanks,
Supriya

Could you please tell me the cost for Live Cycle?

LiveCycle is a complex suite of apps. Note there is no space. I think Adobe recently changed the name. Again. AEM?

Form creation: a few hundred dollars.

Server side form processing: by negotiation; somewhere between thousands and hundreds of thousands I suspect.
