I am trying to connect to a local database on my computer and eventually connect to a hosted database on a shared drive. I have read the documentation for JavaScript for Adobe Acrobat DC. I want to emphasize that this is not an web application. The task that I have to do is to figure out how to establish a database connection in Adobe Acrobat and then save all the form data to the database. Currently, it is an Access database. I tried the ADBC methods of getDatabaseSource function and it says that ADBC is not defined. Can anyone clarify how I would be able to establish a database connection in Adobe Acrobat DC? I would also like to know if Adobe Acrobat can do read and write into the database.

You can't.
ADBC is not supported in Acrobat DC and references to it were removed from the Acrobat DC SDK. See link to the documentation below.
