No. (1) Acrobat is not for server use (2) there is API for this (3)
there is not even any manual batching;

None. Adobe own this technology, and the license terms for Reader
would make it a license violation if a non-Adobe extensions enabler
was used. This is key to Adobe's business model, since the whole
intention of Reader Extensions is to offset "lost revenue" from users
who would otherwise have to buy Acrobat.

There is [url]www.formrouter.com[/url], a company who license LiveCycle Reader
Extensions and offer a per-form web service. Unlikely to be a solution
for you.

As already note, you have ONLY ONE OPTION - LiveCycle Reader Extension Server.

It may be worth noting that the Reader Extension Server has a Java
API.

On Windows, we also support .NET, I believe.
