If you have LiveCycle installed, you have the Reader Extensions service running.

Now when you have a service running in LiveCycle, you can invoke it using several mechanisms. You can use a Java API, Email, Watched folder, Flex, Web service, etc.

You can also build an orchestration (workflow) that calls multiple services.

So it's really up to you as to how you want to invoke Reader Extension.

You can also use the web interface to manually Reader extends the files one by one, or use Acrobat if your form is going to be used by less that 500 users (I believe).
