Adobe is bringing more of its software directly into AI chat platforms, adding Acrobat PDF tools to Claude while expanding its integrations with Google Gemini.

The updated Adobe for Claude plugin now includes Acrobat for the first time, taking the integration to more than 80 tools spanning Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, InDesign, Express and Adobe Stock.

The change means users can carry out a range of common PDF tasks from within Claude rather than switching between the chatbot and Acrobat. PDFs can be reorganised by deleting, combining or splitting pages, while users can also redact sensitive information and convert documents into other formats.

Adobe is also introducing an interactive PDF editor for jobs that require more direct control. It supports rearranging pages, editing text and adding comments or highlights to documents. Existing Adobe for Claude users will receive the new capabilities automatically, while others can access them by adding the plugin.

Another addition is Adobe’s Document Review skill, which can analyse a file and add recommendations directly within the editor. Adobe Express is also gaining more granular editing capabilities, allowing individual images, text, colours and fonts to be adjusted without regenerating an entire design.

Adobe is making a similar push into Google’s Gemini platform. Photoshop, Lightroom, Express and Firefly tools are being integrated into Gemini, allowing people to edit product images, resize and reformat designs for social media and customise Express templates through the AI interface.

The Gemini integrations are available globally across Gemini plans, according to the supplied information.

Adobe’s Claude plugin originally launched earlier this year, but the addition of Acrobat significantly broadens its usefulness for document-based work.

The expansion also reflects a wider move by software companies to bring established productivity and creative tools inside generative AI services, reducing the need for users to repeatedly move between separate applications.
