I am using ".net 5.0" and C#. I may write a windows service (batch job) to accomplish the following tasks. I prefer to work directly with the Adobe Acrobat API rather than the third-party API like GrapeCity. The main reason is licensing complexity.

  1. I need to read some data stored in the database and create a .pdf file.
  2. I need to use a pdf template document and fill those fields and save the pdf.
  3. I have a document template in word. I need to fill those fields and save them as a pdf document.

On the Adobe site, I noticed,

  1. Document Service SDK (Cloud Based) and provides the following APIs
    • PDF Tools API
    • PDF Embed API
  2. Acrobat SDK
  3. PDF Library SDK

What should be my desired path of development?

PDF Library SDK if your budget allows it. But when it comes to "licensing complexity" most 3rd party solutions will offer you far simpler licensing.
