Adobe has introduced a revolutionary AI Assistant to its Reader and Acrobat platforms, marking a significant advancement in the way users interact with PDFs and other document formats like PowerPoints. This AI Assistant, built on Adobe’s proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning models that also power the acclaimed Acrobat Liquid Mode for mobile responsive reading, aims to transform static documents into dynamic, interactive experiences.

By understanding the structure and content of PDFs, the AI Assistant enhances the quality and reliability of its outputs, offering users a range of productivity-enhancing features.

Key functionalities include the ability to recommend questions based on a document’s content, generate concise summaries for quick comprehension, intelligently cite sources for easy verification, navigate documents efficiently, and format information into useful outputs such as emails, presentations, and reports.

Notably, the AI Assistant prioritizes user data privacy, with strict protocols to ensure that no customer document content is stored or used for training without consent.

Beyond PDFs, the AI Assistant supports various document formats, enabling users to manage information across Word documents, PowerPoints, and meeting transcripts seamlessly. Adobe’s vision for the AI Assistant extends to facilitating smarter document experiences across its ecosystem, promising future capabilities like AI-powered authoring, editing, formatting, creative enhancements, and collaborative tools for digital document workflows.

Adobe’s introduction of the AI Assistant represents a significant step forward in document management and productivity tools, leveraging generative AI to reimagine the value of digital documents. This initiative is part of Adobe’s broader commitment to innovation and excellence in digital experiences, with a focus on security, privacy, and ethical AI use.

The AI Assistant is currently available in beta for Acrobat Standard and Pro Individual and Teams subscription plans on desktop and web in English, with plans to expand to other languages and Reader desktop customers in the near future.
