Adobe launches productivity agent for Acrobat AI plans

Adobe has introduced a productivity agent designed to support how users analyse, create and share information across documents, with integration across its Acrobat platform.

The tool brings document intelligence into a single interface, allowing users to interact with PDFs conversationally, extract insights and generate outputs such as presentations, podcasts and social content.

Agent interface

The productivity agent operates across documents, data and systems, combining tools and models to produce text, images and other forms of content. It also supports conversational PDF editing within Acrobat, enabling users to query and modify documents through a chat-based interface.

The system forms part of a broader approach to agent-based workflows, where multiple AI agents coordinate tasks. Adobe positions the productivity agent as complementing its creative tools, with a focus on managing information and workflows rather than content generation alone.

"Adobe's productivity agent is redefining how people work with information," said David Wadhwani, President, Creativity & Productivity Business, Adobe. "We're bringing together decades of Acrobat's document intelligence with agents to help people discover insights faster, generate visually rich content effortlessly and share interactive experiences with customized agents that convey their tone and intent."

PDF spaces

The agent also powers new sharing features within PDF Spaces, an AI-enabled workspace where users can combine files, links and notes into a single environment.

In this setup, the agent generates summaries, titles and audio overviews, helping recipients understand content quickly. Users can structure materials, add context and customise an AI assistant that answers questions or provides suggestions based on the shared content.

The workspace updates dynamically when documents change, ensuring recipients access the latest information. It also allows branding elements such as logos and colour schemes to be embedded into shared materials.

"We're not just adding new features, we're introducing a new format," said Abhigyan Modi, SVP, Adobe Document Cloud. "For the first time, sharing documents means sharing an experience that's tailored to your intended audience, whether that's a client, a team or a million subscribers. Now every one of those experiences can be as personal and purposeful as the work that went into creating it."

Enterprise use

The platform is positioned for a range of business use cases. Sales teams can combine proposals and case studies into a single structured experience, with engagement insights indicating follow-up opportunities.

Marketing teams can turn research and announcements into guided narratives, while HR and compliance functions can distribute onboarding materials and policy updates with tracking on engagement levels. Executives and finance teams can share briefing documents as structured presentations with supporting context.

The system also supports personal use cases, such as organising travel plans or community updates into a single shareable format, reducing reliance on email threads or messaging groups.

Creator adoption

Media and content creators are beginning to use the platform to deliver interactive experiences. Publishers can combine reporting with supporting materials, while audiences can explore content through embedded AI assistants.

The approach enables deeper engagement by linking primary documents, research and narratives into a single interface, allowing users to navigate information beyond static formats.

The productivity agent and related features are available through Adobe's Acrobat AI plans, including Acrobat Express and Acrobat Studio, with PDF Spaces accessible without requiring an account.
