Once the PDF has been sent over the internet it's outside of Acrobat's control. If you wrote the servlet, then you should know exactly how to "get the PDF". If you acquired this servlet from someone else then they have the information you need.

Are you asking how to acquire the PDF data from the HTTP request sent to a server script? The PDF data is in the body of the HTTP request. The number of bytes you need to read out of the body is one of the paramters in the HTTP request header. How you acquire the request body data depends on the language and framework you're using for the server script.
