Do more with AI: Effective January 21, 2026, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Express work together in Acrobat Studio to help you generate presentations, summarize information, and collaborate faster than ever. This article shows these and more new innovations.
Generate presentations from documents in minutes
With the new Generate presentation feature in Acrobat, you can turn your existing files (reports, product sheets, PDFs, links, competitive intelligence, …) into a ready‑to‑edit presentation in just a few clicks.
How it works:
- Upload your documents into PDF Spaces (your AI‑powered workspace).
- Ask AI Assistant to analyze the content and build an outline.
- Choose the tone, length, and style of your presentation.
- Acrobat automatically generates slides using Adobe Express templates.
- Make quick edits – swap images, add video, change fonts – without redesigning slides.
This lets you create pitch decks, proposals, or reports faster than ever.
Edit your PDFs with simple chat commands
Acrobat now gives you a chat-based way to complete essential PDF tasks.
Just type what you want to do:
- “Remove page 4”
- “Add an e-signature field”
- “Protect this file with a password”
- “Delete all comments”
AI Assistant performs the task instantly without menus or searching for tools.
Tip: Adobe updated the Help Panel which now provides clearer, step‑by‑step instructions or troubleshooting when you need them.
Prepare for meetings with personalized podcasts
The new Generate podcast feature turns long documents into short, podcast-style audio summaries.
Use it to:
- Summarize hundreds of pages into a 3–5 minute briefing
- Catch up on missed meetings
- Turn research into an audio preparation session
- Convert educational guides into hands-free lessons
Just drop emails, transcripts, notes, PDFs, or links into a PDF Space. AI Assistant will turn everything into a structured audio summary.
Collaborate better in PDF Spaces
PDF Spaces is now a shared workspace where teams can:
- Upload files
- Leave notes
- Comment and review
- Work together on insights
- Accelerate decision-making
Instead of working in separate documents, everyone collaborates in one central place.
Switch AI assistants instantly to get the right insights
Acrobat Studio now lets you choose the perfect AI helper for the task at hand. Whether you need a general assistant, a data-driven analyst, or a clear step-by-step instructor, you can switch roles in seconds.
How it works:
- Open your document in Acrobat Studio, click Choose an assistant, and select the role you want. The AI adjusts its responses instantly – giving you summaries, analyses, or explanations tailored to your workflow.
This helps you move faster, get clearer answers, and match the AI to your specific goal.
Convert files effortlessly with built‑in export options
Acrobat Studio streamlines the way you turn documents into PDFs or export them into Word, Excel, or image formats.
How it works:
- Open your file, click the export menu, and choose Convert to PDF or another format. Acrobat immediately processes the file using Adobe’s optimized conversion engine.
Whether you’re preparing reports, sharing editable content with colleagues, or reorganizing data for analysis, conversion now takes just one click.
