Work smarter with PDF Spaces
PDF Spaces in Adobe Acrobat transforms information overload into actionable ideas, helping you unlock insights, generate content, and move from idea to execution in one AI-powered knowledge hub. It supports chat with a prebuilt or personalized AI Assistant, provides source-linked citations, and allows collaboration.
Use PDF Spaces to quickly craft sales pitches, shape marketing stories, or collaborate on projects using PDF Spaces. It’s ideal for sales teams, marketers, students, educators, and anyone who needs to turn complex information into clear insights.
Use AI Assistant to perform tool-based actions
The AI Assistant in Acrobat can now complete PDF tasks for you and help you finish your tool-based actions faster. Ask the AI Assistant in natural language to perform tasks powered by Acrobat tools, and it automatically completes the requested action. You can ask the AI Assistant to directly complete the key tasks in your document, like Rotate page left, Rotate page right, Delete pages, Extract pages, Convert to PDF, Scan & OCR, Print pages, Protect a PDF, Compress a PDF, Create a PDF, Fill & Sign, and Share.
For other tools, you get step-by-step guidance with quick-access buttons, making your work smoother and more efficient.

Get image ideas from Adobe Stock
You can now explore Adobe Stock image suggestions directly within Acrobat. When working with a PDF, select the content and then select Image ideas from the context menu.
Acrobat shows image recommendations based on your content from Adobe Stock, powered by Adobe Express. The contextual image ideas help you find relevant visuals quickly while designing, presenting, or enhancing your document.

Discover help easily in Acrobat
The Acrobat search bar now displays the text Find tools, topics, or help. The updated text improves help discoverability by showing that you can search for help articles easily. You can start typing your question or keyword, and get the support you need, without leaving your document.
Hear text read aloud with natural voices
The Read out loud feature in Acrobat now supports premium online voices that sound more natural than the default system options. Select Read out loud 
from the global bar, then choose an online voice, and start listening. It's an easy way to review content and stay focused without reading it yourself.
