A Big Step Forward made possible with Generative AI 

This new feature helps users improve their productivity by automating many time-consuming tasks. Now, when reviewing contracts or analysing reports, Acrobat adapts to your specific needs.

You don’t need additional software or advanced technical skills. Learning how to use generative AI for PDFs is as simple as asking the assistant for quick answers on your desktop or mobile device.

Adobe Acrobat has also designed their learning curve for this new AI tool to be as streamlined as possible. You can learn how to use generative AI for PDFs by following their tutorial videos, or just start experimenting independently, as the AI chat features are intuitive enough to use on their own! 

Simplified Legal Documents with One-Click Summarizing

Lengthy forms with unfamiliar concepts and jargon often take considerable time to digest so that you can make informed decisions. If you’ve ever found yourself downloading PDFs of employment contracts or for houses on the market, you know what we’re talking about.

Thankfully, Adobe’s AI Assistant for Acrobat is here to streamline the analysis of these longer form PDF documents. Now, you can tell Acrobat to summarise PDF content with a mouse click or simple typed commands. The one-click generative summary function lets you quickly find the most critical information in your forms.

Contract AI converts the most complex topics and terms into concise passages for laymen. This intuitive AI summarizer feature is powerful enough to identify variations across multiple forms, letting you find the context you need with each and every read.

Next-Level Presentation Preparedness

Thanks to Acrobat’s AI capabilities, you can confidently participate in executive briefings, university tutorials, and any other professional or academic setting where you’d need to disseminate and utilize information fast. 

For students, jump into class discussions, oral assessments and presentations with ease by generating key takeaways for all your PDF readings. For professionals, meet management and client expectations from meeting to meeting by using simple but powerful commands, letting Acrobat’s generative brain do your bidding.

Impress top brass with content created using a prompt like: “Condense this presentation into a brief slide that my manager can read in under a minute”.

Attending a boot camp for new software or product introductions where new information comes at you fast? No problem. Simply load the documents into Acrobat and ask the AI Assistant: “What are the main topics from this presentation?”

Now, you have several options for creating new media from this prompt. You can draft an email in your brand voice using the presentation takeaways. You can also update your sales team with the new product features, availability schedule, and pricing options with a formatted tip sheet.

Or, use the summary to draft a Slack message for colleagues working remotely or at company headquarters. The options are endless, so experimenting to see how these features can help you stay ahead of ready in the boardroom or classroom is highly recommended.

Refined Analysis through Generative AI Chat Features

Working with PDFs that showcase graphs and figures? Distil those data-heavy forms into concise paragraphs or bullet points using question prompts like “What are the long-term impacts if this trend continues?”

Organisations considering expansion into new regions do feasibility studies before seeking financing and searching for properties. To prepare decision-makers, use a prompt such as “Provide a pros and cons list for expansion to South America.”

Using Acrobat’s generative AI power, you can now ask your documents pertinent questions and receive high-level summarisation for use in social posts, text messages, and emails.

Developing New Concepts with AI Ideation

When we’re at the keyboard, sometimes the ideas don’t flow as fast as we’d like. But Acrobat has you covered with powerful brainstorming capabilities you’ll love. Use them to analyse your document’s contents to further the discussion and analysis.

For instance, you could ask Adobe Acrobat’s AI Assistant to play the role of senior financial executives and pose questions about quarterly results. Speak to the assistant as you would another human.

Example prompts here might be: “Please list three positives and three negatives to our last quarter initiatives”, or “Do you think interest rate adjustments will occur soon, or should we stay the course?”

You can converse with several documents at once without switching between tabs and receive links from trusted sources for further clarification. Adobe’s also continually updating the list of file types AI Assistant supports, so you’ll likely see this feature improve further in the future.

Intuitive PDF Formatting

AI Assistant makes text and graphic manipulation more straightforward than ever. Suggest improvements to headings, titles, and paragraphs. Reconfigure document layouts using the format widgets we’re already familiar with, using prompts instead of a series of mouse clicks.

Input conversational cues like speaking to an actual human personal assistant. You can use questions and commands.

Here are a couple of ideas to get started:

“How can I fit all these ideas on the first page?”

“Summarise our top-performing products into a bulleted list using our company’s brand colours and fonts”.

Through continual machine learning, AI Assistant becomes better at providing the results you expect.

Improved Collaboration Features

With Acrobat’s AI Assistant, collaboration with small and large teams is highly efficient. In fact, the tool can actually make sure your projects are on schedule by tracking changes and reducing miscommunication. This ensures you can keep your group aligned and productive without having to sift through chapters of text or data.

Seamless and secure information sharing lets teams confidently manage documents since Adobe does not use your inputs or content to train the AI. Just define your goals, provide some context, and offer examples if appropriate. The Acrobat Assistant will do the rest.

Perfecting your digital documents has never been easier, thanks to Adobe’s AI-powered Acrobat Assistant. It transforms the way you interact with PDF creation, management and publishing.
