Adobe Brings Powerful AI Upgrades to Acrobat, Transforming PDFs Into Interactive Content Tools

Acrobat reader has been one of the most important tools for years. However, it's been the same for so long. Now it seems like Adobe has now officially decided to expand the Acrobat Reader’s capabilities with a whole new set of AI features. The PDFs can now be turned from static to interactive, and it will support multiple-format content platforms. It was announced on Wednesday that the update allows you to create presentation decks, generate podcast-style audio summaries, and edit PDFs with the help of chat-based AI commands.
