How can we add this PDF editable feature to our web and mobile standalone 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.

Hi and welcome to MoT! :slight_smile:

I feel like this is more of a specific question better asked your third-party PDF Editor forums to get the right answer?

  • We donโ€™t even know which editor you are using
  • We donโ€™t know your tech stack

Since we donโ€™t know your tech stack I could say โ€œwe do this or thatโ€ but that doesnโ€™t directly imply it will work for you since it might be a totally different stack and integration. If you catch my drift?

Thank you for your suggestion, Kristof.

In our project, we are using React.js for the front end and Node.js for the back end. If you have any additional insights or recommendations, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Additionally, I plan to explore third-party PDF Editor forums for further guidance.

Thank you in advance!
