With Acrobat AI Assistant, you can ask your PDF virtually any question. The tool provides quick, easy-to-understand answers in natural language. For instance, you might ask it to summarise the document’s five key points, draft an email highlighting the main findings, or extract crucial data from complex reports. If you’re not sure what to ask, AI Assistant also offers suggested questions to help guide you. Simply choose a prompt or type your own question to get the information you need swiftly.

To get started, upload a PDF or a supported file format. If you upload a Microsoft Word document (DOCX), PowerPoint presentation (PPTX), TXT file, or RTF file, Acrobat will convert it to PDF. After uploading, sign in to ask questions and receive quick answers.

Many AI Assistant responses include numbered references as clickable links. Clicking these links highlights the related content in your document, making it easy to verify information. You can also copy the chat history to use the answers for emails, social posts, or presentations. Learn more about how chat history is stored.

AI Assistant currently supports English documents only. You can access it from nearly any web browser or operating system, including Mac and Windows. It’s also available in the Acrobat Chrome extension.

The AI summarising tool helps you quickly pinpoint key information from your documents. Acrobat’s generative summary feature creates a detailed outline with headings, section links, and key points with just one click. It paraphrases the document content into a concise summary, making it easy to grasp lengthy research papers or extensive PDFs in a fraction of the time.

You can sign in to Acrobat to try generative summary and the AI Assistant Q&A feature. Both free and paid Acrobat users receive a limited number of complimentary AI Assistant requests. For full access to all features, including unlimited AI Assistant requests, consider subscribing to the AI Assistant for Acrobat add-on. Check out our FAQs for more details.

Yes, you can summarise specific sections of a PDF document using the Acrobat AI chat tool. Simply upload your file, sign in, and ask the AI Assistant to draft a summary of the particular section you need. Additionally, you can pose other research questions or request analysis of data within tables in the document.

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.
