Adobe brings Firefly AI to the popular Acrobat Reader to create images within PDFs

Adobe has integrated its Firefly AI into Acrobat, allowing users to create and edit visuals directly within PDFs. This is the first time generative image capabilities are available in a PDF solution. Acrobat's AI Assistant now supports multiple document types, including PDFs, Microsoft Word, and PowerPoint.

Edit Image in Acrobat: Tools like Generative Fill, Remove Background, Erase, and Crop help enhance document images. Users can remove unwanted objects, change backgrounds, and add new visuals seamlessly.

Generate Image in Acrobat: Users can quickly add new images to PDFs with Firefly Image 3 Model. The tool allows size and style adjustments, enabling users to create professional-quality visuals without design expertise. These features simplify visual content creation for various users, from sales teams to small business owners.

Insights Across Documents: The AI Assistant helps users extract key themes and trends from multiple documents, such as PDFs, Word, and PowerPoint files. Users can ask specific questions and receive synthesised information with intelligent citations.

Enhanced Meeting Transcripts: New capabilities automatically generate summaries of virtual meetings, highlighting main topics, key points, and action items. This helps users stay informed and aligned with team goals.

Adobe emphasises that its generative AI models are trained on licensed content and public domain images, ensuring commercial safety. Content created with Firefly includes Content Credentials for transparency.
