How can we add this PDF editable feature to our web and mobile application so that changes saved will be directly written on our database?

We are building a stand-alone web and mobile application that, when finished, will require one of our order modules to have as one of its features an editable PDF. Since the third-party PDF editor we could find already supports a strong ability to edit-the specifics being Adobe Acrobat-we are challenged with how we will ensure that changes the user saves will be written into our application database rather than into the third-party editor system.

Our development team is facing an impasse in the effort to implement this functionality. Do you have suggested approaches or tools allowing PDF editing with direct data saving to our database? Thank you in advance for any suggestions or best practices you could share.

Any suggestions for the below question would be greatly appreciated

Why do you want to save data from a PDF into a database? Why as PDF?
You have a web and a mobile app and need ANOTHER “UI” technology to write to your database?

Not that I’m deep into PDF. I understand PDF as a storage of data. You maybe can read it. But the PDF, especial opened in a reader, is not made to save the data elsewhere than in the file.

The idea that comes next to this: Let the users edit and save the PDF. Then they upload it to your application and the application reads the data from the uploaded file.

Oh thanks for your suggestion Sebastian much Appreciated
