With AI services like Microsoft Copilot and Google Bard claiming to be able to easily summarize PDF documents at the drop of a hat, it's a little surprising that Adobe itself hasn't supplied AI tools itself. Adobe on Tuesday announced AI Assistant, a free, beta conversational engine inside of Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Instead of just summarizing the document, the tool will allow users to ask questions of it, clarifying details. Acrobat Standard, Pro, and Teams customers and Acrobat Pro trial users can use the AI Assistant beta today, with features coming to Reader over the coming days and weeks, Adobe said in a statement. Adobe Acrobat is just one of the PDF editors PCWorld recommends.
