        If at all such a thing would be possible, then you'll need the SDK for that. Have you read the SDK manual to see if such a feature is supported? However, personally I think that you will only be able to read a PDF file offline (as opposed to what is currently open and is being displayed by acrobat reader). And such offline manipulation of PDF files, you can do with something like iTextSharp, which the other poster pointed out.
