Adobe has introduced a new generative AI (genAI) assistant for Acrobat, promising to simplify the process of reading lengthy PDFs. The Acrobat AI Assistant is now available in public beta for paid Acrobat individual and teams licenses, as well as the free-to-use Reader app. A private beta is also available for enterprise customers. Adobe has not disclosed the cost at launch, but an add-on subscription will be required for Reader and Acrobat users.
The AI Assistant in Acrobat is designed to assist teams and organizations working with text-heavy documents such as legal, research, editorial, and archival materials. It provides an overview of a document with short summaries of content in various sections, including text, graphs, and infographics. Users can also ask the AI assistant questions and format summarized information for sharing via email or other means.
Adobe plans to expand the AI Assistant’s capabilities to summarize a wider variety of document types, including Microsoft Word and PowerPoint files. Additionally, there are plans to integrate Acrobat with Adobe’s Firefly generative AI tool to add images to text documents.
Ritu Jyoti, IDC’s group vice president for Worldwide Artificial Intelligence and Automation services, expects strong demand for the Acrobat AI Assistant, with knowledge discovery being one of the top strategic use case categories for genAI.
