Maybe.

What creation model? For example, Convert a Powerpoint document to PDF? Print from your app to PDF? Create a PDF from your own drawing instuctions? etc

What environment? Your own computer for you personally, using Acrobat Pro? For anyone, using Acrobat Reader? For a web server? etc

Ok,

1. You cannot use the Acrobat SDK for this, because it only automates Acrobat. Acrobat is not for use on a web server.

2. Adobe do make the "Adobe PDF Library", which can be licensed (Price On Application) for web servers. Licensing and support is handled by DataLogics.  https://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf-sdks/adobe-pdf-library/

3. Adobe's PDF Library is for C++ only. But DataLogics have added wrappers for C# and Java.

4. Adobe's PDF Library can be used to create PDF files from graphical and text elements. Be aware, though, that this is very low level and

(a) detailed knowledge of the PDF Graphics and Text models from ISO 32000 are a prerequisite

(b) there is no higher level function for page contents (such as conversion of graphics files, text flow, hyphenation, automatic selection of font from Unicode range, etc. etc.)
