Adobe is reimagining its famous Acrobat platform with the launch of Acrobat Studio, a new service that extends beyond PDFs to incorporate a wide range of file types and productivity tools. Launching globally in English, this subscription-based platform blends Adobe’s PDF editing with its Adobe Express content creation and AI assistants to streamline collaborative workflows.
From PDF Reader to Productivity Powerhouse
Acrobat Studio is designed to evolve Acrobat from a traditional PDF tool into a comprehensive workspace where users can manage up to 100 files at once, including PDFs, web pages, and Microsoft 365 documents. These files are combined into a single workspace called PDF Spaces, which act as collaborative knowledge hubs where teams can view, edit, and manage content seamlessly without switching apps.
Collaboration Made Easy with PDF Spaces
Within PDF Spaces, users can:
- Sign and share agreements related to a project
- Consolidate research and notes
- Create infographics or visual assets using integrated Adobe Express tools
- Collaborate with colleagues and clients in real-time
This setup promotes centralized work environments where all relevant information and files are organized and accessible in one place.
AI Assistance for Smarter Workflows
One of Acrobat Studio’s standout features is its customizable AI agents embedded within PDF Spaces. Building on Adobe’s existing AI capabilities in Acrobat, these assistants can:
- Offer insights and recommendations
- Generate notes, ideas, and citations from the collated documents
- Help individuals and teams automate repetitive tasks
These AI tools bring generative intelligence directly into the productivity workflow, enhancing decision-making and content creation.
Availability and Pricing
Acrobat Studio is available starting today and offers unlimited access to PDF Spaces, AI Assistants, and Adobe Express Premium features. It is available as a separate subscription that replaces Adobe’s previous Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro plans.
- Early access pricing:
- $24.99 per month for individuals
- $29.99 per month for teams (annual contract)
It remains uncertain how prices will change when the early-access period ends on October 31, 2025.
With Acrobat Studio, Adobe is taking a significant step toward integrating AI-assisted productivity and design tools into a unified platform, catering to users who juggle multiple file types and collaborative projects. This evolution makes Acrobat much more than just a PDF reader or editor, positioning it as a powerful workspace for individuals and teams alike.
