Acrobat Assistant has clever AI-powered capabilities.

The AI-powered capabilities in Acrobat Assistant are more than just a spellcheck feature. Along with being your inbuilt PDF editor and proofreader, Acrobat Assistant can —

• • adjust the tone and voice of your content
  • reformat and rephrase text
  • lengthen or shorten content
  • turn paragraphs into bulleted lists

• Make voice and tone adjustments with the AI-powered Acrobat Assistant.
  Content and document writing is always an iterative process. You often naturally tweak and refine content as you write. However, when you’re revising and reworking content at various stages of writing, your voice and tone can become inconsistent. Inconsistent tone and voice can also become an issue when you have multiple authors or different people contributing to the content of a document.
  
  Acrobat’s AI-powered Assistant will review your PDF document to ensure it matches a specific voice or tone. This will help you maintain a consistent style throughout your written content that matches you and the audience for whom you are writing.
• Reformat and rephrase content with Acrobat Assistant.
  Having content that flows in a way that makes sense to readers is vital. It’s common for writers of all types of content to go through a brainstorming type of process while writing. Then later, that content often needs to be moved around to other paragraphs or sections of a document.
  
  The Assistant in Acrobat will offer you suggestions on how to reformat and rephrase content to improve the overall style and flow of your writing. This may include advice on sentence structure, complex or unclear sentences, word choice, and tone. The AI-powered Acrobat Assistant may also offer suggestions for rephrasing to improve clarity and readability.
• Lengthen or shorten content.
  Getting stuck for words when you’re writing happens to everyone. Similarly, there are times when the words flow a little too much, and you need to cut it back a bit!
  
  You can use the Acrobat Assistant to give you suggestions on lengthening or shortening your content to create readable and digestible PDF documents for your intended audience.
  
  

• Turn paragraphs into bulleted lists.
  Some types of content are just quicker and easier to read in bulleted lists than paragraphs. This may include lists of items, a summary of key topics, or certain points you want to highlight.
  
  Use the Acrobat Assistant to rework your paragraphs into bulleted lists that make your PDF content visually easy to read and follow.
• Check your grammar and spelling.
  
  It always pays to have a fresh perspective when proofreading and editing any writing you do. Even if you’re someone who writes full-time for a living, it’s easy to miss or overlook your own mistakes.
  
  The Assistant in Acrobat is your second set of eyes and a tool to edit and proofread PDFs. It can identify and grammar mistakes, typos, incorrect punctuation, spelling errors in text and give suggestions for improvements, making your editing and proofreading process much more efficient.
