Adobe launches Acrobat Studio that combines Acrobat, Express and AI

Adobe has unveiled Acrobat Studio, a new platform that brings together Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Express and AI agents to make work more productive and creative. The launch marks a major step in transforming the PDF from a static format into a dynamic, conversational knowledge hub. Acrobat Studio allows users to interact with their files through AI-powered Assistants that can extract insights, provide recommendations and summarise content.

According to Adobe, Acrobat is evolving from a standard document productivity app into a first-of-its-kind productivity and creativity hub — helping users get to insights faster, create standout content, and collaborate more seamlessly.

Acrobat Studio introduces the following features:

PDF Spaces: Within Acrobat Studio, PDF Spaces act as dynamic work environments that turn collections of files and websites into conversational knowledge hubs. Users can interact with their documents through agentic AI Assistants to uncover insights, acquire recommendations, and receive citations. They can also add notes for later reference.

Acrobat Pro tools: The new platform integrates all the capabilities of Acrobat Pro, such as editing PDFs, scanning hard copies, e-signing contracts, redacting sensitive information, and comparing documents. Acrobat Studio also includes AI-powered features that can summarise the contents of scanned documents, contracts, and other files.

Adobe Express tools: Beyond document management, Acrobat Studio allows users to design infographics, presentations, flyers, and social media posts with built-in Adobe Express tools. It comes with access to Adobe Express Premium tools, which includes templates, brand kits, and Firefly-powered features such as text-to-video and text-to-image generation.
