Adobe and Google have teamed up to connect Drive, Gmail and Acrobat
Some Adobe tools will end up in Google Search's AI mode, as well.
Adobe and Google have formed a new partnership to connect their software products, including Drive, Gmail, and Acrobat. The companies announced their collaboration during Adobe's Max conference in Miami today. This integration aims to streamline workflows and enhance productivity for users.
Adobe Acrobat will receive deeper connectivity with Google Drive and Gmail, creating a direct pathway for editing PDFs. This feature will allow users to edit PDFs with Acrobat directly from file previews, making the process more efficient. Additionally, Adobe will integrate its creative and productivity tools into Google's Gemini Enterprise, Workspace, and AI Mode in Google Search, as well as bring Google's frontier models into Adobe apps.
Google's AI models will also be added to Acrobat, enabling users to edit PDFs conversationally and create polished assets like presentations, resumes, and reports faster. Users will be able to access Acrobat directly from the chat window in Gemini, and this feature will extend to AI Mode in Google Search in the future.
Beyond Acrobat, Adobe plans to integrate its products with Google DeepMind, the company's advanced AI research laboratory. This partnership aims to provide creative editing experiences and third-party exploration of customizing Google image models for Photoshop to enable near-real-time edits.
During Adobe's Max conference, the company also announced its Firefly AI assistant, which will be integrated into many of its Creative Cloud suite of products. Firefly will soon be able to handle multi-step tasks using natural language and will be available in a private preview for its mobile apps before a broader rollout.
