Adobe transforms

Adobe transforms PDF experiences with General Availability of Acrobat AI Assistant

Since we first launched Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant, the way our customers interact with PDFs and other documents has completely changed. From understanding a document in depth to consolidating and sharing important information, customers are using it to quickly get the information they need in a faster, more focused way on all kinds of documents.

We are excited to see customers using AI Assistant in new and creative ways to get more productive - including leveraging the features with their tax documents. And while how people prepare and file taxes differs from country-to-country, one thing remains the same: everyone faces the daunting challenge of trying to keep up with an overload of information.

Tax preparation is only one example of how people are getting more productive with Acrobat AI Assistant. Knowledge workers are summarizing takeaways and action items from long meeting transcripts and analysts to quickly surface and share top findings in research reports. Sales teams are quickly locating key information from technical documents for RFPs and learn about customer pain points to inform their strategies and presentations. Consumers are easily finding terms and conditions for warranties in long contracts and agreements and teachers and students are creating study guides.

Today, we're making the full range of Acrobat AI Assistant capabilities available to customers with free Reader or paid Acrobat for individual plans when they purchase a new AI Assistant add-on subscription. Early access pricing for the AI Assistant add-on subscription starts at US$4.99 per month. Acrobat AI Assistant subscription plans are available on desktop and web in English - other languages to follow. AI Assistant on Reader mobile (beta) is available in English for free for a limited time directly in the Reader mobile app.

Powerful PDF AI capabilities to accelerate productivity and understanding

Acrobat AI Assistant empowers customers to work more productively with their PDFs and other documents like Word, PowerPoint, meeting transcripts and more. Starting tomorrow, users can open Reader or Acrobat and begin using the features, including:

• AI Assistant: AI Assistant recommends questions based on a PDF's content and answers questions about what's in the document through an intuitive conversational interface.
• Generative summary: A PDF summarizer to get a quick understanding of the content inside long documents with short overviews in easy-to-read formats.
• Intelligent citations: Adobe's custom attribution engine and proprietary AI generate citations so customers can easily verify the source of AI Assistant's answers.
• Easy navigation: Clickable links help customers quickly locate the information they need in long documents so they can focus their time exploring and actioning the most essential information.
• Compelling content: Consolidate and format information into top takeaways and text for emails, presentations, blogs, reports, and more. A "copy" button makes creating and sharing compelling content simple.
• Respect for customer data: AI Assistant features in Reader and Acrobat are governed by data security protocols, and no customer document content is stored or used to train AI Assistants without their consent.

Introducing new value everywhere where work happens

Acrobat meets people wherever they live and work - whether it's on a laptop, the web or their phone. And now Acrobat AI Assistant is also available across all surfaces - including Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app (beta) and web extensions:

• Mobile with voice commands - now in beta: Acrobat AI Assistant, now available in beta on Acrobat Reader mobile with voice commands, enables customers to use their voice to ask their PDF questions, summarize documents, and more. With the new mobile app, Acrobat AI Assistant delivers vital insights and information analysis wherever users are and allows them to effortlessly create high-quality content for e-mails, study guides, blog posts and more, from their phones.

• Web extensions for Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome: Whether doing research for a school topic or a new business idea, most people start by searching the web - and a lot of the most valuable information they find online lives in PDFs. Acrobat AI Assistant is now available through Acrobat's existing Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge extensions, allowing billions more users to quickly get from web search to comprehension and action in an instant. Acrobat AI Assistant provides Chrome and Edge users with a PDF summarizer for quick answers and overviews in easy-to-read formats without users ever having to leave their browsers.

Building trust in generative AI for PDFs

PDFs are where individuals and organizations keep their most important information. Adobe pioneered and has led the digital document category for over 30 years. Acrobat AI Assistant supplements third party LLM technologies with the same artificial intelligence and machine learning models behind the award-winning Liquid Mode to provide a unique understanding of PDF structure and content, greatly enhancing the quality and reliability of Acrobat AI Assistant's outputs. Adobe's custom attribution engine generates citations so customers can easily verify the source of the responses.

Like other Adobe AI features, Acrobat AI Assistant was developed in alignment with Adobe's AI Ethics processes and has guardrails in place so that all customers - from individuals to the largest enterprises - can use the features with confidence. When working with third-party LLMs, Adobe takes an agnostic approach, selecting best-in-class technologies that address a range of customer use cases. Adobe prohibits third-party LLMs from training on Adobe customer data.
