The professional context is increasingly marked by information overload and the pressure to produce more and better in less time. In this sense, Adobe has presented new functions based on artificial intelligence for Acrobat and Adobe Express aimed at accelerating access to information, facilitating content creation and improving collaboration between teams.

“Generate presentation” allows you to convert existing documents into structured presentations

The main novelty is “Generate Presentation”, a function that allows you to convert existing documents into structured presentations in a matter of minutes. From PDF files – such as financial reports, product sheets or competitive analysis – Acrobat’s AI assistant analyzes the content, proposes an outline and generates an editable presentation without the need for advanced design knowledge.

The process is supported by direct integration with Adobe Express, which provides professional templates and simple creative tools to adjust design, fonts, images or animations without leaving Acrobat. The user can define the duration, tone and focus of the presentation, apply their brand kit and collaborate with their team before closing the final version.

PDF Spaces and chat editing

Another key focus is PDF Spaces, a collaborative work environment within Acrobat designed to centralize documents, links and context in the same space. From there, teams can extract relevant information, leave comments, add files, and work together to accelerate decision-making.

Added to this logic is a new PDF edition via chat, which allows complex tasks to be executed with instructions in natural language. Through the AI ​​assistant, users can delete pages or elements, search and replace text, add passwords or electronic signatures, and resolve questions step by step from an improved help panel. The objective is to simplify common actions and reduce the time spent on operational tasks.

Personalized podcasts to catch up

Adobe expands the use of AI beyond text and design with “Generate Podcast,” a feature that transforms long documents into podcast-format audio summaries. The user can group notes, transcripts, reports or emails in a PDF space and ask the assistant to generate an audio summary to consume while moving, working or performing other tasks.

The podcast becomes a new productivity format

This functionality is designed for both the professional environment (preparing meetings, catching up after an absence or assimilating complex documentation) and for the personal sphere. From turning educational guides into audio lessons to creating weekly summaries with school or local information, the podcast becomes a new productivity format.

All of these capabilities are built into Acrobat Studio, the environment that brings together Adobe PDF tools, smart workspaces, custom AI assistants, and visual content creation. The approach is transversal and adapts to different profiles: sales teams, marketing, legal advice, students or even families who need to organize information and convert it into useful content.

With this evolution, Adobe reinforces its vision of less fragmented productivity, where creativity, information and automation work together throughout the entire workflow.
