Three options if you want to use Adobe's API:

1) Acrobat/Reader plugins.  Various restrictions on "server use" may prevent
this from being suitable.
2) Adobe's PDFL, a rather pricey and hard-to-get DLL that has the vast
majority of the plugin API, but with the UI calls stripped out.
3) Zeon's PDFCore.  It mimics Adobe's PDFL as much as possible.

We're working with Zeon's PDFCore right now.  I'm quite happy with their
technology, though their customer relations sometimes leave something to be
desired.

The Good: The get bugs fixed fast, the product is stable.  They follow a
"release early, release often" style of development.  Their tech support
emails get turned around in a day or so (they're in... Taiwan?).  

The Bad: Their docs aren't very helpful.  There's no way to be automatically
notified with they release a new version of a product you've licensed (as
they often do).  It's not clear what changes from one release to the next,
unless their support specifically says "your bug will be fixed in vX.Y.Z".
Even then, you don't know what else might be in there, so you don't know
what else might need testing.
