Introduction

Acrobat Spaces is not only a great tool for producing meaningful insights for marketers and business professionals, it's also a great platform to ideate and spark creative inspiration.

Hi everyone, my name is Angelo Monilla from montilladesign.com.

In this video, I'll show you how to use insights gained from an Acrobat Spaces project to create a social media post in Adobe Express and later share it for review.

Let's jump in and learn more!

I have a collection of source files and a new PDF Spaces project,

00:30

Using Acrobat Spaces insights to plan social media content

and I'd like to extract some of the information from these documents to create an Instagram Story post on AI trends in social media marketing.

These source files include "Key Trends to Watch in 2025," a report on "How AI Is Transforming Social Media," and a few pages from a slide deck for an established digital marketing agency.

Acrobat Spaces has already generated suggested goals and insights with citations based on these source files, which I can use for other various projects.

However, I want to chat with AI Assistant to create content for my post as well.

In the Prompt box, I'll use the default Assistant

Generating titles and facts with AI Assistant

and ask it to generate a few short titles and five interesting short facts based on AI trends in social media marketing.

I'll ask for the facts to be engaging and attention grabbing.

I can go ahead and click the Generate button to generate the results, and you can see that the AI Assistant does a fantastic job generating the information, which I can now save as a note and use to create a social media infographic post using Adobe Express.

I can click on the Notes icon in the left menu to access the social media AI trends content for my post.

Here it is.

I'll click on the note.

I can also give it a title.

I'll rename this title, "AI Trends in Social Media Content."

And now I'm able to use this content in a post that I'll create in Adobe Express.

I'll do that next.

Creating an infographic post in Adobe Express

I've switched over to Express and chose an infographic template for my post, which will work perfectly because it has five points.

I could start by adding the content from the PDF Spaces document to build out the social media post.

For example, I can click on the main title in my infographic and use one of the recommended titles here, and the title will be, "5 AI Trends You Can't Ignore."

To zoom in on the post, hold Option on a Mac, that's Alt on Windows, and scroll in with your mouse.

And now I can paste in my first point into my infographic.

I can go ahead and select the text in the title for the first point, and type in the recommended title from the PDF Spaces project.

Now, because I've already added the title here, I can remove it from the text frame.

And the first fact in my infographic is complete.

I'll hold Cmd, that's Ctrl on Windows, and press 0 on my keyboard to go back to Fit in view.

I've prepared a completed version of the design

03:03

Sharing and downloading the completed design

and now I can share it for review.

In Express, click the Share button located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, and Add people or groups to start collaborating.

I'll add the email of one person that I'd like to send this to.

You could add a message which is optional and then click Invite to edit.

Recipients will receive an email linked to the Express document to share feedback or edit the social media post.

And as the owner of the document, I'll be able to see contributors editing and updating the post in real-time.

To download the social media post, I'll click the Download button in the upper right-hand corner.

I want to share the post on social media, so I'll choose PNG as my file format.

You can also choose a PDF if you'd like to use this document in a future PDF Spaces project.

For example, I can choose PDF Standard (Best for documents),

Using Spaces and Express together for ongoing projects

and then click Download.

This will save a copy of the PDF to your computer, and then I can start a new space project and add this post, as well as other related documents as source files to gain new insights.

That'll take a few moments to prepare a new Spaces project, but you can see it's generated an entire set of new goals and fresh insights.

I can even ask the AI Assistant to create a report on the future of social commerce and AI, which can be saved as a note and shared with social media marketing teams.

You're now ready to seamlessly work between Acrobat Spaces and Adobe Express.

Use this workflow in your next Spaces project and see how simple it is to transform meaningful insights into engaging social media content.

Again, my name is Angelo Montilla, and I'll see you in the next video.
