Adobe just added generative AI features to Acrobat Studio, letting users convert lengthy PDFs and meeting notes into podcast-style audio summaries and presentation slides. Users can also edit documents—like swapping text or deleting pages—via chat prompts. The podcast feature currently taps into Microsoft and Google models.
Adobe just rolled out the Acrobat AI Assistant to turn static PDFs into interactive workspaces. The tool creates instant summaries with clickable citations, generates podcast-style audio recaps across multiple documents, and builds presentation decks from scratch. Existing Acrobat and Reader users can jump in right away, and Adobe guarantees your files won't train its AI models.
Adobe is rolling out agentic AI across its suite, kicking off with Photoshop's first creative agent dubbed Action Panel. The feature analyzes your image to recommend context-aware edits and triggers over 1,000 actions via natural language. Premiere Pro is also getting agents to piece together rough cuts, while Acrobat adds custom document agents.
Adobe just overhauled Acrobat by integrating Firefly Image 3 directly into PDFs, letting users generate and edit visuals inside their documents. The updated Acrobat AI Assistant can also synthesize insights across multiple Word and PowerPoint files with citations, plus pull action items from meeting transcripts. Adobe is offering free, unlimited access to the assistant from June 18 through June 28.
