Adobe Acrobat Reader DC for use on a commercial server

Question

Hi,I want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on a Windows 2016 server to generate .PNG previews of PDF's. These generated previews will be used in a commercial web product. The PDF's themselves will be opened in the default .PDF viewer from the browser.The software itself won't be distributed, the servers are owned by a third party where we have full access to.It's used in the back-end purely to generate preview files.Now my question is, is this allowed?Please let me know, thanks in advance!

Okay Dave, thanks for you answers so far.

I'm looking at the license but I'm no license expert. If you have time, can you please point to the part where it says this?

Thanks in advance.

3.2 Server Use. This agreement does not permit you to install or Use the Software on a computer file server.

Reader doesn’t have a PNG converter. Acrobat does but it isn’t for server use. Look into LiveCycle PDF Generator (despite the name), enterprise level server product.
