'Use cURL in Adobe Acrobat Reader to get data from webservice and import it to the PDF fields

I want to call an webservice with a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader with the Adobe Acrobat Pro Reader Extended rights.

First I tried to connect to a soap webservice using "Net.SOAP.request", but I realized that I need to have LiveCycle/AEM server to Reader Enable the form.

So now I wonder if it's possible to use submitForm with cUrl to use an SOAP webservice or an REST webservice.

What I want to do is to send in an employee numbers to get the persons name/adress and more from the webservice. Is it possible?
