This includes aiding students in swiftly locating information for research projects and condensing large reports into concise highlights for emails, meetings, and presentations.
AI Assistant in Acrobat supports all document formats within the app, encompassing Word and PowerPoint. Crucially, the chatbot adheres to Adobe's stringent data security protocols, ensuring it does not store customer document data or utilize it for AI training.
