It all starts with “PDF Spaces”, these workspaces launched last year which allow up to a hundred documents to be grouped together. Until now, AI has mainly been limited to summarizing and extracting information. Now, she is moving on to the next step: creating a turnkey presentation from this content.
When a pile of PDFs becomes a slideshow
Concretely, the user asks the Acrobat assistant to transform their documents into slides. The AI starts by proposing a plan, just to check that everyone is on the same page. Once this skeleton has been validated, it’s time for the dressing: several “serious but not sad” models are offered, directly from Adobe Express. Images, fonts, colors, brand themes… everything can be adjusted, often without having to regenerate slides.
Adobe highlights very pragmatic uses: a commercial pitch built from internal reports, a product presentation based on notes and tables, or even a university course transformed into visual support. The idea is above all to avoid going back and forth between tools and last minute requests to the colleague who knows how to make slides. Once the result is deemed acceptable, simply share the presentation with the team to continue improving it together.
Another new feature that may be intriguing: the generation of podcasts from documents. Acrobat can now summarize a file or set of files in audio form, with, by default, two voices discussing the content. A deliberately more conversational format, designed for those who prefer to listen rather than read, on transport, while walking or between two meetings.
This is not completely new in the world of AI, but Adobe integrates it directly where documents are stored. No need to export anything: you place the files in a Space, you request an audio summary, and you obtain a “homemade” podcast in a few moments.
PDF editing also becomes more flexible. Twelve common actions can now be triggered via simple natural language commands: delete a page, replace a word, remove an image, add an electronic signature or protect a file. For those who prefer to click rather than talk to an AI, Adobe has also revised its help panel, with more readable step-by-step instructions. Collaboration is not forgotten. PDFs shared in a Space can include automatically generated summaries, accompanied by citations referring precisely to the passages concerned. Everyone can then comment, add or remove content, without losing track of the sources.
