I need to open a preexisting PDF file with some editable fields in the browser . I want to fill out the editable fields of the pdf file and then save the file on my drive with the filled-out information. This pdf contains check boxes, text boxes, signature fields and drop downs. can I do this in asp.net core MVC or asp.net web forms. any help will be highly appreciated. Any suggestions will be very helpful.
I'm not sure how your question has anything to do with ASP.NET or Core. Create a PDF with the input fields and save the PDF on the server. If you are building a Core app then save the PDF in wwwroot. Add a link to a web page where the user can download the PDF. If you help creating the PDF then see Adobe help docs. https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/how-to/create-fillable-pdf-forms-creator.html If you are trying to store user entry then create a basic input form as illustrated in every beginning level tutorial. Store the data in a database. If the user needs a PDF then use a PDF NuGet package to create the PDF from the user's input. https://www.google.com/search?q=nuget+pdfsharp

An editable pdf is typically downloaded, edited and uploaded. If the user has the correct pdf viewer, then can edit the pdf in the browser, but still will need to save and upload.
if you are trying to produce a pdf editor in the browser, then you need a JavaScript based pdf editor. Google “JavaScript pdf editor” and select the one that meets your needs. Most are commercial products.
