Adobe, the global technology company, has unveiled Adobe’s productivity agent, which brings decades of Acrobat document intelligence into a single agentic interface to transform how people understand, create and share information.
The agent orchestrates tools and models to generate images, text and rich content like presentations, podcasts and social posts and power conversational PDF editing in Acrobat.
It also unlocks the new sharing and publishing capabilities in PDF Spaces, an AI-powered workspace where you can combine files, links and notes to do research, get insights and create content.

The new productivity agent and sharing capabilities are available in Acrobat Express — a new offer that combines AI-powered document insights, premium content generation and information sharing all in one place — and in Acrobat Studio, which includes all features in Acrobat Express along with AI PDF tools.
Adobe’s productivity agent is part of a broader agentic vision that’s redefining how people work.
Designed to operate seamlessly with Adobe’s creative agent and agents developed by third parties, it works across documents, data and systems to execute tactics and orchestrate outcomes — freeing people to focus on the vision, the judgment and the work that only they can do.
Adobe’s creative agent is transforming how people create; the productivity agent orchestrates everything necessary so people can get insights faster, generate rich content quickly and share knowledge with interactive experiences. Together, they represent Adobe’s commitment to keeping humans at the center of an agentic future.
“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 customised agents that convey their tone and intent.”
Setting a New Standard for Sharing
Adobe invented PDF, which has defined how the world shares its most important information. Today, people open more than 400 billion PDFs and send more than 200 million PDFs in Acrobat every year.
With the new publishing and sharing capabilities in Acrobat, the company is setting the next standard, transforming documents and files into interactive, personalised experiences that inform, engage and drive action.
The productivity agent works behind the scenes, generating titles, summaries and audio overviews from documents and links in a PDF Space.
Senders can add context, reorder files to provide emphasis and customise an AI Assistant for the shared experience that answers questions, provides suggestions and helps recipients easily get the information they need.

This new format enables people to:
- Create a tailored space. Bring PDFs, documents, links and notes together in one place. The agent quickly generates the space, so the sender can focus on refining the experience with context, structure, emphasis and multimedia content so recipients can focus on what matters most.
When documents are updated, the shared experience updates, too, so recipients always have the latest information.
- Customise an AI Assistant to fit the moment. Tell the AI Assistant about your goals and recipients. Share it along with the experience to answer questions, provide suggestions and help recipients get the information they need to make confident decisions.
- Get recipients up to speed fast with an audio overview. The agent automatically generates an audio summary of the information to help orient recipients before they dive in. A fully editable script helps ensure the right message comes through every time.
- Add your brand. Include a logo and colour palette to create a professional, on-brand experience.
- Follow up with confidence. The agent provides engagement insights to help make follow-ups timely and informed.
“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.”
Share With a Single Person, a Team or Millions
Publishers and creators are already using shared experiences in PDF Spaces to build trust and deeper engagement with their audiences.
