how to read and save a server-side pdf with adobe in a client-side web browser ? (plugin, applet / java servlet, …)

[peujdev]

Hello,

My need is:

• read a pdf present on a server to display it in a web browser
• the user can add tooltips, change the order of pages, delete pages, ... and changes must be save server side

Currently, I'm using an independent applet that uses a servlet to open a connection between the client and the server.

This allows you to read and save the pdf as a byte stream.

The environment is : intranet, tomcat, java, jsp, internet explorer

Do you know how I can do this with Adobe ? (Plugin, ...)

Thanks

Adobe doesn't offer anything that can do that. It would require a custom-made solution, if it's at all possible.

Adobe Acrobat DC | Adobe Document Cloud seems to meet the need utility (adding tootips, rearrange pages, delete pages, ...) but how to modify the reading/saving of pdfs directly with the server-side ? Can we change the default event of this button ?

=> It's a solution to integrated directly in Internet Explorer (Use Adobe plugin ? applet ?...)

You add a submit button to a PDF that will send the data back to the server, and then use a service (written in PHP, for example) to capture that data and save it locally, but you can't do it directly.
