I have an image of a scanned form. I know that Acrobat PRO can find the form fields on this image and put fillable fields on top of this document (https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/acrobat/how-to/create-fillable-pdf-forms-creator.html). I wonder if this service is available in Acrobat SDK or any other product?

Besides the arguments already brought up, using the "Detect Form Fields" functionality works reliably only with very simplistic forms.

It produces horrendous field names, which can be used for simple filling, but are close to useless if you want to do something with the data.

I just need the proof of concept that this can be done and defend that this technology will improve with time. Guess I have to use some mouse automation techniques to brute force my implementation.

from what you say, a proof of concept would not be allowed by the EULA, as Acrobat is not licensed for server use. The technical difficulties in such a case are not even relevant.
