AI Assistant leverages the same artificial intelligence and
machine learning models behind Acrobat Liquid Mode, the
award-winning technology that supports responsive reading
experiences for PDFs on mobile. These proprietary models provide a
deep understanding of PDF structure and content, enhancing quality
and reliability in AI Assistant outputs.
“Generative AI offers the promise of more intelligent document
experiences by transforming the information inside PDFs into
actionable, knowledge and professional-looking content,” said
Abhigyan Modi, senior vice president, Document Cloud. “PDF is the
de facto standard for the world’s most important documents and the
capabilities introduced today are just the beginning of the value
AI Assistant will deliver through Reader and Acrobat applications
and services.”
Immediately delivering new value
Acrobat Individual, Pro and Teams customers and Acrobat Pro
trialists can use the AI Assistant beta to work more productively
today, with features coming to Reader over the coming days and
weeks. No complicated implementations are required. Simply open
Reader or Acrobat and start working with the new capabilities,
including:
- AI Assistant: AI Assistant recommends questions based on
a PDF’s content and answers questions about what’s in the document
– all through an intuitive conversational interface.
- Generative summary: 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 find what they need in long documents so they can focus
their time exploring and actioning the most important
information.
- Formatted output: Ask AI Assistant to consolidate
and format information into top takeaways, text for emails,
presentations, reports and more. A “copy” button makes it easy to
cut, paste and pass along.
- 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 for training AI
Assistant without their consent.
- Beyond PDF: Customers can use AI Assistant with all
kinds of document formats (Word, PowerPoint, meeting transcripts,
etc.)
Innovating a global standard

Acrobat remains the gold standard for reading, editing and
transforming PDFs. And Acrobat is everywhere – on desktops, the

The future of intelligent document experiences
Today’s announcement signals the beginning of Adobe’s vision to
leverage generative AI to reimagine the value of digital documents.
Adobe has a deep and rich roadmap ahead for AI Assistant
capabilities:
- Insights across multiple documents and document
types: AI Assistant will work across multiple documents,
document types and sources, instantly surfacing the most important
information from everywhere.
- AI-powered authoring, editing and formatting:
Last year, customers edited billions of documents in Acrobat. AI
Assistant will make it simple to quickly generate first drafts and
help with copy editing – instantly changing voice and tone,
compressing copy length and suggesting content design and
layout.
- Intelligent creation: Key features from Firefly, Adobe’s
family of creative generative models, and Adobe Express will make
it simple for anyone to make their documents more creative,
professional and personal.
- Elevating document collaboration with AI-supported
reviews: Digital collaboration is how work gets from
draft to done. And with a 75% year-over-year increase in the number
of documents shared, more collaboration is happening in Acrobat
than ever. Generative AI will make the process simple, analyzing
feedback and comments, suggesting changes and even highlighting and
helping resolve conflicting feedback.
Pricing and availability
Reader and Acrobat customers will have access to the full range
of AI Assistant capabilities through a new add-on subscription plan
when AI Assistant is out of beta.
Until then, the new AI Assistant features are available in beta
for Acrobat Standard and Pro Individual and Teams subscription
plans on desktop and web in English, with features coming to Reader
desktop customers in English over the next few weeks – all at no
additional cost. Other languages to follow. A private beta is
available for enterprise customers.
