Adobe has introduced new Artificial Intelligence-powered (gen AI) tools to Acrobat and Adobe Express that allows users to work faster, create impactful content and collaborate more effectively. This includes the ability to turn existing documents into presentations, convert written material into podcast-style audio summaries, and edit PDFs using natural language prompts. Additionally, all of these features will also be available in Acrobat Studio.

Adobe Acrobat and Express: New AI-based features

Through a blog post, Adobe has detailed these new capabilities that are now rolling out for Acrobat users globally. The Generate Presentation feature lets users upload files such as reports, product documents, or web pages, and with the help of AI, the tool will then create a presentation outline. Once the outline is ready, users can then turn it into a full presentation.

Another notable addition is Generate Podcast, which uses AI to convert text-heavy documents, reports, meeting transcripts or collections of related files into a podcast-style audio summary. These audio files can be used or listened to on the go and let users prepare for meetings, catch up on missing information, or review long documents quickly. Adobe is also expanding collaboration features through PDF Spaces in Acrobat.

Further, AI Assistant chat capabilities inside Acrobat Studio are also expanded with the help of AI. This allows users to use natural language prompts to perform editing tasks, such as deleting pages, modifying text or images, adding digital signatures, applying passwords, and more, without any manual intervention. The Help panel will also use chat to guide users through common problems in a step-by-step process.

Moreover, Acrobat Studio is getting new collaboration features within PDF Spaces, the platform's shared workspace environment. This will allow users to organise files, invite others to add documents, leave comments, and share feedback in one place. All of these new AI tools and improvements are available through Acrobat Studio, bringing the best of Adobe’s PDF tools, smart workspaces, AI Assistants, and creation tools for professional and personal use.
