Smarter, faster PDF editing with Acrobat AI Assistant.

What makes AI Assistant a smarter way to edit PDFs.

Acrobat AI Assistant introduces intelligent features that take the complexity out of editing and reviewing PDFs. Rather than navigating multiple manual tools, you can simply enter a natural prompt like “summarise this section” or “rephrase for clarity” to see instant results. While the AI Assistant does not directly edit your PDF, it provides intelligent suggestions you can quickly review and apply to your document.

No matter if you are working on desktop, web or mobile, the experience is designed to be fast, accurate and consistent.

Key benefits of Acrobat AI Assistant include:

• Prompt-based suggestions that allow users to type questions or instructions and receive instant output
• Smart summarisation to extract key points from long contracts, reports or forms
• Document Comparison using the insights feature to help identify important terms and compare differences
• Cross-file search and insights to find patterns and takeaways without switching tabs
• Voice chat support in mobile apps for editing and preparing on the go

Acrobat AI Assistant helps improve focus, reduce editing time, and support better decision-making in daily workflows.

Tip: For the most accurate results, keep instructions clear and specific when using Acrobat AI Assistant, especially when editing names, formatting, or tone across a document. Explore our extensive prompt guide and sample prompts to get started.

Summarising key insights using AI Assistant.

If you need a clear overview of a long document, the summarise feature can quickly extract key ideas. You can also ask specific questions about the content.

Examples include:

• “Give me a summary of this agreement”
• “List the key deadlines from this file”
• “What are the main deliverables in this project?”

It’s a great way to stay informed and confident when reviewing detailed or technical files.

Tip: For documents that cover multiple topics or sections, start with a broad summary prompt, then ask more specific questions for each part. This approach helps surface more context-specific insights tailored to each section’s content.

Getting insights across multiple files with Acrobat AI Assistant.

When working with multiple documents, it can be difficult to stay on top of everything. Acrobat AI Assistant helps you cut through the noise by letting you ask questions across several PDFs at once, so you can uncover insights faster without switching between tabs or rereading each file.

Instead of searching through each document individually, you can bring them together in one view using PDF Spaces, then use natural prompts to:

• Summarise key points from related files
• Compare terms, timelines, or deliverables
• Find recurring themes or answers across documents
• Get quick overviews to support faster decision-making

Whether you are reviewing drafts, editing client documents, or fine-tuning internal reports, Acrobat AI Assistant helps your files work together to save time, cut down on busywork, and keep you focused on what matters most, with content you can easily refine and apply to your PDFs.

Tip: Use the clickable citations in AI Assistant responses to trace answers back to the original documents. This helps you verify key points, jump to relevant sections, and share accurate, trusted information with others.

Using AI Assistant prompts for faster edits.

Acrobat AI Assistant includes ready-to-use prompts that help guide edits, summaries, and content improvements. These are especially helpful for users who want to speed up their workflow without starting from scratch.

Here’s how to use them:

• Select a sample prompt to copy it automatically
• Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat (web or desktop)
• Click the AI Assistant tool
• Paste the prompt directly into the chat box
• Review the tool’s output and apply the text or suggestions to your PDF as needed

These prompts take the guesswork out of editing and help unlock the full potential of AI-driven productivity, while you remain in full control of what changes are made.
