I don't speak for Adobe, but I would recommend that, unless you have
negotated a special license for this, you stop immediately, since use
of Acrobat on a server is usually held, including by Adobe reps, to be
a breach of the EULA. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm sure
your company won't want to continue in this situation.  Check out the
Developer FAQ for some written support for this statement.

In general, a different license is potentially needed for anything run
on a server, and such licenses are sometimes unavailable. Checking is
vital, and not checking can be an expensive mistake that has cost some
companies millions of dollars.

In practice, Acrobat is also wildly technically unsuitable too, so
changing now may save much grief in the future.

Adobe sell the PDF Library for server use, or there are third party
tools. Maybe Appligent's AppendPDF is the sort of tool you need.
