Web Api capture request data from Adobe Acrobat form submit

I have a PDF which has a submit button which will submit the PDF fields as an html form to my web API. The submit part works, however it is sending the request payload in a format I have never seen before Request payload

Also the request doesn't show the content-type being sent. I supposed it was being sent as application/octet-stream so I added this custom MediaTypeFormatter I found and it still didn't work.

I am filling the PDF fields using iTextSharp and the sending it to the client. The client creates a BLOB URL to display it in an iframe. I noticed that the problem is due to this, because when opening the PDF by itself and filling the data manually and then submitting it works fine, so the problem has to be either when I fill the form fields or when I create the BLOB URL in the client.

That's an Adobe format called FDF (Forms Data Format) but that's just one option for the submit format. You can also submit the data as the equivalent of an HTML GET using the settings shown in the images below.

If your API can accept data from HTML forms, it should work from Acrobat as well.
