Hello experts
I face a problem. I have a Pdf file which is open when user clicks on open pdf file link. Now my need is when user opens it, it should be opened in editable mode and after changes it needs to be automatically saved back on server. Is it possible?

Maybe you should change your title to something like Edit instead of Create.
It may give you more interesting answers

Look into iTextSharp. I don't know if it can do what you want but many people use it for generating pdfs from the web.

I am afraid, you can't.

I can think of a workaround though. First read the pdf file using some library like iTextSharp.
Show that text in a TextArea or something on the Page. Allow edit on that TextArea.

Add a Update button. On Click of that, delete the previous file and save the TextArea Content as pdf with the previous file name.
