Chat with PDF FAQs.

What kind of questions can I ask my PDF?
You can use the Acrobat AI Assistant tool to ask a PDF all kinds of questions. AI Assistant will then provide a quick answer, using natural language for easier understanding. For example, you can ask AI Assistant to list a document’s five most important points, or you can ask it to draft an email summarizing your document. Don’t know what to ask or what to expect from a PDF AI tool? Simply select one of the common questions suggested by AI Assistant.
Can I use the tool with other types of files?
Yes, you can upload a PDF or any other supported file. If you upload a Microsoft Word document (DOCX), PowerPoint presentation (PPTX), TXT file, or RTF file, the Acrobat online tool will convert the file format to PDF. Then sign in to ask your document questions and get quick answers.
Can I verify the information in the answers?
You’ll notice that many AI Assistant answers provide attribution by including numbered references as clickable links. When you select one of the numbered links in the AI Assistant chat answer, the AI PDF tool instantly highlights the related source content in your document. This interactive artificial intelligence feature provides a fast, seamless way for users to verify information with a single click. You can copy the chat history and use the answers to craft other content like emails, social posts, or presentations. Learn more about how the chat history is stored.
Can I summarize individual sections of a PDF document?
To summarize an individual section of a PDF document, upload a file to the Acrobat AI chat tool and sign in. Then ask your PDF to draft a summary of the specific section you need summarized. You can also ask other research questions, including questions that analyze data across tables shared in the document.
Is AI Assistant a secure tool to use to chat with PDFs?

Security is paramount to Adobe. When you upload documents using this tool, they will be deleted from our servers to respect your privacy if you don’t sign in. Security measures are also built into every PDF created with Acrobat.

In addition, Adobe has integrated the trusted Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service AI model with our proprietary technologies to provide generative AI capability in Acrobat. Adobe and its service providers do not use Adobe customer content to train the large language models (LLMs) — ours or a third party’s — that deliver Acrobat generative AI capabilities. We also do not permit third parties to manually review Adobe customer content.
