May 6, 2026 6:01 AM

Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) announced the release of its productivity agent, a tool that enables users to interact with PDFs through chat functionality and create presentations, podcasts, blogs and social media posts from documents. The agent is integrated into PDF Spaces in Acrobat, which transforms static files into interactive experiences with customized AI assistants.

The productivity agent orchestrates tools and models to generate images, text and content while powering conversational PDF editing in Acrobat. PDF Spaces serves as an AI-powered workspace where users can combine files, links and notes for research, insights and content creation.

The new features are available in Acrobat Express, a new offering that combines AI-powered document insights, content generation and information sharing, and in Acrobat Studio, which includes all Acrobat Express features plus additional AI PDF tools.

"Adobe's productivity agent is redefining how people work with information," said David Wadhwani, President, Creativity & Productivity Business at 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."

Adobe reports that users open more than 400 billion PDFs and send more than 200 million PDFs in Acrobat annually. The new publishing and sharing capabilities allow users to create tailored spaces, customize AI assistants, generate audio overviews, add branding elements and access engagement insights.

VICE News, Kid Cudi, journalist Jessica Yellin and event planner Mindy Weiss are among the creators and brands using the new sharing capabilities. VICE News plans to use PDF Spaces for its reporting content reaching more than 20 million followers, while Kid Cudi's team is using it for his podcast series preparation.

PDF Spaces can be viewed by anyone without requiring an account, according to the company's announcement.
