Frequently asked questions

What kind of questions can I ask my PDF? 

The Acrobat AI Assistant tool allows you to query a PDF with various questions. It provides quick, understandable answers using natural language. For example, you can request key information from multiple documents simultaneously to create a study guide for exams or summarize course readings for class preparation. If unsure what to ask, select from the common questions suggested by the AI Assistant.

First, upload a PDF or a supported file format (for example, Microsoft Word DOCX, PowerPoint PPTX, TXT, or RTF). The Acrobat online tool will convert non-PDF files to PDF. Sign in to interact with your document and receive answers promptly.

AI Assistant responses often include numbered references as clickable links. Clicking these links highlights the relevant source content in your document, allowing for quick verification. You can also copy chat history for emails, social posts, or presentations. For more details on chat history storage, refer to the relevant documentation.

AI Assistant supports documents in English, French, and German. It's accessible through most web browsers and operating systems, including macOS, Windows, and the Acrobat Chrome extension.

How does an AI summarizer work? 

The Acrobat AI summarizer, Generative summary, extracts key points from documents to produce an organized outline, including headings, section links, and essential insights. It allows a quick understanding of lengthy research papers or large PDFs with a single click. Access Generative Summary and the AI Assistant by signing in to Acrobat. Individual users have limited free requests. Full access requires a subscription to the AI Assistant for Acrobat add-on. For further information, review the FAQs.

Can I summarize individual sections of a PDF document ?

To summarize a specific section of a PDF document, upload the file to the Acrobat AI chat tool and sign in. Request a summary for the designated section from the AI Assistant. You can also use the AI Assistant to address other research-related queries, including data analysis across tables within the document.

Is AI Assistant a secure tool to use to chat with PDFs? 

Adobe is committed to security. Files uploaded to the AI tool without signing in are removed from Adobe servers to maintain privacy. Acrobat also includes inherent security measures to protect all PDFs created.

Adobe integrates the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service AI model with its proprietary technologies to offer generative AI capabilities in Acrobat. Neither Adobe nor its service providers use customer content for LLM training or permit third-party reviews of Adobe customer content.
