I am working on a website where a user enters in fields in a form.
 
Using the data from those fields I want to create a PDF document where the fields in the PDF are pre-filled with the user entered data.
 
Furthermore I want the user to be able to have the option of editing fields in the document.
 
Finally after the user has purchased the rights to download the document, I want to provide the ability for the customer to download the PDF
  
Is any of this possible using Adobe Software?
  
Thanks...Sahil

You cannot use Acrobat on a server, so you would need to use one of the PDF libraries to dynamically-create your documents on demand - there are both free and commercial versions available for PHP, Perl, Java, etc. such as TCPDF and iText, but which you need depends on what the document contains as they each have different levels of functionality. If however you want to create *Reader-extended* PDF files on a server, you must use Adobe software such as LiveCycle.
