Stylize PDFs using Adobe Express design tools
Acrobat adds Adobe Express design tools to help users stylize PDFs with shapes, icons, color themes, backgrounds, stock images, and font recommendations. It also supports Adobe Express templates for eligible English PDFs on Individual or Teams plans, while keeping the original PDF unchanged.
Learn how to enhance the look of your PDFs by applying Adobe Express design tools in Acrobat.
In Adobe Acrobat, you can stylize a PDF using Adobe Express design tools and with Adobe Express templates. With Adobe Express design tools, you can refresh the look of your PDF by adding shapes and icons, applying color themes, and updating backgrounds.

Follow the steps below to stylize your PDF using Adobe Express design tools:
Open the PDF and select Edit from the global bar.
Select Stylize this PDF under DESIGN WITH ADOBE EXPRESS.
Your PDF opens in Adobe Express in a new browser tab.
Use the following shortcuts from the right pop-up menu to enhance the PDF:
- Add shapes and icons: Insert geometric shapes or pre-designed icons to enhance your layout.
- Resize page: Adjust the dimensions of your PDF pages to fit different formats or requirements.
- Apply color theme: Choose from pre-set color palettes to give your PDF a cohesive look.

Record and manage voiceovers in timeline
Firefly adds beta voiceover recording in the video editor, letting users record narration directly onto the timeline, manage clip placement, adjust volume and speed, enhance audio, and rename or delete voiceover clips in the project.
Learn how to record and add voiceovers directly onto the timeline and manage them.
Firefly video editor is a beta feature in Adobe Firefly, now available for testing and feedback.
Record voiceovers
Add to the timeline the video or image for which you want to record the voiceover. Then, position the playhead at the point from which you want to start the voiceover.
Note
You can't add a voiceover to an empty timeline.
Select Record voiceover in the timeline panel. The first time you use it, or after a browser settings reset, your browser may ask for permission to let Adobe Firefly access your microphone.
A. Input device selection menu
B. Record/Stop button
C. Record voiceover icon
D. Sound meter
E. Mute/Unmute timeline playback while recordingIn the Record voiceover menu, if you have more than one voice input device, select the one you want to use. Then, test the sound level by speaking and checking the sound meter.
To unmute or mute an existing audio in the timeline for the duration of your voiceover, select Unmute timeline playback while recording or Mute timeline playback while recording. Existing audio is muted by default.
When ready, select Record. Wait for the countdown of three seconds to finish, and then start the narration. As you record, the video or image will play automatically, starting from the playhead. You can narrate for up to five minutes, and beyond the video's or image's duration if necessary.
After you complete your narration, select the stop button in the Recording menu. The voiceover clip is automatically added to the first available audio track in the timeline.
To ensure that your voiceover is accurate and in sync with the video or image, move the playhead to the starting point of the voiceover, and then select Play. Trim or move the voiceover, if necessary.
To record additional voiceovers on top of the one you already recorded, repeat the steps. By default, the latest voiceover clip will be in the audio track closest to the video or image in the timeline.

Master your classes and prep for what's next with Student Spaces in Acrobat
Acrobat launches Student Spaces worldwide for free, expanding its AI-powered study hub with adaptive flashcards and quizzes, editable summaries, handwritten note conversion, citation generation, resume feedback, interview help, and Android app access.
You know the feeling: two quizzes the same day, a term paper staring you down, a group project you have to wrangle, and an internship opportunity application you’re trying to make really stand out. With only so many hours in the day, you need to focus your time on learning the material, not on busy work. That’s the problem Student Spaces in Acrobat set out to solve when we launched it in beta this spring.
Today, we're excited to announce that Student Spaces, our AI-powered study hub, is now available to students worldwide, for free. We’re building Student Spaces with students, bringing you more ways to study smarter, new tools to build trust into your work, and features that will support you from the classroom straight into your career.
Learn more with AI you can trust and tools that professionals use
Here's what's new in Student Spaces in Acrobat:
- Focus your study time: You can already generate flashcards, quizzes, mind maps, podcasts, video summaries and more directly from your course materials and notes, so you spend less time organizing and more time actually learning. Now, flashcards and quizzes track your answers and adapt to what you still need to practice. You can even edit to make them your own.
- Create properly formatted citations easily: Every answer already links back to your source material, so you always know where the information came from. Starting later this month, you can also generate properly formatted citations in APA, MLA, Chicago and more just by entering a title, URL, DOI or ISBN.
- Study smarter with summary sheets: Upload your documents to instantly generate a customizable, editable half-sheet, one-page or two-page overview of the must-know facts, perfect for prepping before an exam or for exam-prep notes sheet.
- Convert handwritten notes into text: You asked for it: now you can upload handwritten notes directly into Student Spaces, where they're converted into digital, searchable text.
- Get resume feedback and interview help: The AI Assistant can help review and provide feedback on your resume, along with helping you to prep for interviews, so you're ready when internship and job opportunities come around.
- Study more flexibly: Video summaries are now editable too, so you can focus on the question or topic, theme and narration, so it’ truly customized to how you study. Plus, Student Spaces is now available directly in the Acrobat app on Android, so you can study wherever you are.
"I really like how it'll cite the source that I got it from. You can click on it, and it'll bring you directly to the source on the other side.”
– Max, majoring in Applied MathBuilt on a foundation you already know
Your school life runs on PDFs: syllabi, course readings, lecture slides, lab reports, and even the forms for your next internship. Student Spaces builds on Acrobat's decades of experience helping people work with PDFs. The AI isn't guessing at your material, it's reading the same documents you already rely on every day and grounding every answer in it.
That's the difference between an AI tool bolted onto your classwork and one built for it. Whether you're breaking down a dense reading, polishing a presentation or getting ready for an internship interview, Student Spaces is designed to help you stand out, not stress out.
"I got to see how feedback turns into actual product changes at Adobe. It's one thing to use a tool. It's another to help build it.”
– Sheetal, master’s student in Computer Software EngineeringMade with students, for students
We aren't guessing what you need; we're listening to your feedback and building Student Spaces with students, for students. The beta taught us a lot, and today's launch reflects what you told us mattered most: tools you can trust, study help that actually sticks, and a clear path from the classroom to your career.
Use Student Spaces today
Whatever's on your plate this semester, Student Spaces is built to make it a little easier. And best of all: it's free. Just upload your docs, generate your first study set, and invite your classmates in.
Get started today!

Show up sharper, faster with new Acrobat AI
Acrobat adds AI-powered ways to read and refine documents, turning dense files into interactive reports, summary slides and visuals, plus audio summaries and read-aloud. It also brings Stylize tools with Adobe Express templates to give PDFs a polished, professional look.
Turn dense docs into visuals you can scan in minutes
All too often, the best insights are buried in walls of text. With new interactive reports and summary slides, Acrobat can take dense documents and turn them into something visual and easy to absorb, like charts or key takeaways. Built-in navigation lets you scan the headlines or dig into the detail.
Say you run a small business and get your quarterly financials back. Instead of reading line by line, you can turn the text-heavy report into graphs and charts that visualize your revenue trends and cost drivers, so you can literally see the impact. A marketer pulling together competitor research or customer feedback can do the same thing: drop in the source material, and instead of scanning rows of numbers, they can see the trend line rise and fall at a glance. HR teams reviewing headcount data can turn spreadsheets full of numbers into an infographic that clearly shows which teams are understaffed and need more support.
Listen and learn, wherever you are
Sometimes the best way to absorb information isn't on a screen at all. New AI audio features in Acrobat like personal podcasts, audio summaries, and read-aloud let you turn any document, or even a collection of documents, into something you can listen to.
Picture a market analyst with five research reports to get through before a Monday meeting. Instead of blocking off an afternoon, they can pull those reports into Acrobat, generate a podcast-style summary, and listen to it on their commute or during a workout. Same information, same rigor, delivered in a format that fits into a life that doesn't always have a free desk hour.
Give plain PDFs a polished, professional look
How professional information is packaged up and presented makes a difference in how it lands. New Stylize capabilities let you take plain documents, like resumes, invoices, reports, and client proposals and apply one of thousands of professionally designed Adobe Express templates, while keeping every word of your original content intact. Edit and refine as needed, and you have something that shouts, “I’m a pro!” in minutes, not hours.
For a small business, it means invoices and reports that reflect the quality and care of the work behind them. For someone looking for a next job, it means getting an updated resume with a pro polish in minutes.
Built on decades of trust
Every year, people open more than 400 billion PDFs and share more than 200 million documents with Acrobat. Some of the world’s largest companies rely on Acrobat for everything from multimillion-dollar contracts to secret formulas. That trust is built into the experience: when you ask questions of your documents in Acrobat, answers include clickable citations so you can verify the source, and Adobe does not train its models on your document data.
Work smarter with every document
Acrobat is helping redefine what it means to read and edit documents in the age of AI. Instead of poring over every word or number from beginning to end, you can understand information visually and listen to engaging audio at your desk or on the go. And when you want to turn plain docs into polished deliverables, Acrobat makes it simple to show up like a pro. With AI in Acrobat, we’re making it faster and easier for you to get the expertise you need, make decisions with confidence and do your best work every day.

Auto reframe videos to fit any aspect ratio
Firefly adds Auto reframe in the Firefly video editor beta, automatically cropping and reframing videos for different aspect ratios on social platforms like Instagram and YouTube. It helps reduce manual cropping and supports motion tracking options for smoother exports.
Learn how to automatically adjust your video frames based on the aspect ratios for different social platforms in Adobe Firefly video editor.
Firefly video editor is a beta feature in Adobe Firefly, now available for testing and feedback.
Auto reframe lets you automatically crop and reframe videos for different aspect ratios, reducing the need for manual cropping and making it easier to export videos for the web and social media platforms such as Instagram and YouTube.
In the Firefly video editor, select the video clip in the timeline that you want to auto reframe.
Select the required aspect ratio for the video clip using the Aspect ratio icon on the upper-right side of the timeline.
Note
The Auto reframe option does not appear if the aspect ratio of the original video and the one set in the timeline is the same.
Select the Properties panel, and then turn on the Auto reframe option. You can also right-click the video clip in the timeline and then select Auto reframe.
Turn on the Auto reframe option to automatically adjust the video's frames based on the aspect ratio.
Tip
When applying Auto reframe, use it with Detect cuts to avoid unnecessary camera panning.
Once the auto-reframing is complete, select any of the following options from the Motion tracking dropdown menu:
- Slower motion: Use it when there is very little or no camera motion in the video. The generated video is almost static and requires very few keyframes.
- Default: Use it for most videos unless the motion is fast.
- Faster motion: Use it when the video has a lot of motion, so the reframing follows it. It ensures the moving object stays in the frame and adds many keyframes to your video.
Keyframes are currently uneditable; you can view them in the video timeline.
To further edit your video's properties, turn off the Auto reframe option and modify the transform controls and motion presets.
After completing your video edits, export the video and use it in your projects or share it across your preferred platforms.

Introducing Adobe for Slack: Turn your ideas and conversations into high-quality content
Acrobat joins Adobe for Slack, bringing Adobe’s creative and productivity tools into Slack so teams can create, edit and transform content from conversations, files and Canvas. The new app is now available globally for Slack Business+ and Enterprise+ customers.
Your new creative and document workflows, right inside Slack
Millions of people use Slack every day to collaborate, share ideas and keep work moving. Chances are much of the context behind your next deliverable already lives there: your project brief is in a Canvas, you share feedback in your conversations, or that reference file your teammate shared last week is still there, too. With Adobe for Slack, you can draw on that context to create high-quality images, videos, documents and more, all inside Slack.
Today, we’re introducing Adobe for Slack, available now for Slack Business+ and Enterprise+ teams. It brings more than 70 pro-grade tools from Adobe’s creative and productivity suites, including Firefly, Adobe Express, Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat, InDesign, Illustrator, Stock, Lightroom and more, into Slack. Install the Adobe app, describe the outcome you want in your own words to Slackbot, Slack's built-in personal AI teammate, and Slackbot will call on the right Adobe tools to help bring your idea to life. You can also ask Slackbot to pull in relevant context from your conversations, files, channels and Canvases, so the Adobe app can draw on it as you create and refine your work.
“Slack is where work happens, and where AI is turning conversation into action. Bringing Adobe's industry-leading creative and productivity tools directly into that flow means teams don't have to leave their conversations to create. Adobe for Slack lets people turn the context and ideas already in their conversations into incredible content, then refine and build on it together, without breaking their stride. The Adobe app is a powerful example of how MCP apps in Slack can help teams turn conversation into action.”
– Jaime DeLanghe, Chief Product Officer, SlackWhether you’re a marketer building campaign assets, a social media strategist refining creative for different channels, or a digital worker turning data and information into customer-ready documents, Adobe for Slack gives you new ways to create, collaborate and keep your work moving, right where the conversations shaping it are happening:
- Turn project plans and conversations into high-quality content: Ask Slackbot to find and summarize information from your conversation or Canvas, then call on the Adobe app to turn that context into PDFs, images and videos you can share with your team in Slack.
- Put your Creative Cloud assets to work: Ask Slackbot to search your Creative Cloud assets by subject, style or mood to quickly find content from past projects or campaigns, then bring the right assets into your Slack workflow to continue editing.
- Adapt campaign creative across channels: Take approved images and videos, and quickly create variations sized for your social channels.
- Create high-quality designs from templates: Browse thousands of design templates, choose the right one for your project, customize the copy and colors, then animate it for social media or turn it into a print-ready PDF.
- Turn data into shareable content: Bring in a spreadsheet and call on the Adobe app to transform the information into a PDF or visual you can share with your team or client.
- Edit and refine images in bulk: Quickly refine sets of images like team headshots, event photos or product imagery. Remove backgrounds and distractions, adjust lighting and tone, crop and resize images, and more — all from Slack.
Keep the creative process moving through conversation. Ask Slackbot, powered by Adobe’s pro-grade tools, to refine your work, make another edit or create a variation, then share it into a team channel so others can review it, build on it and shape what happens next. The Adobe app brings creation closer to the conversations shaping your work. And when you want greater creative control, pixel-level precision, or more ways to work with and get insights from your documents, you can continue in Adobe’s flagship apps like Adobe Express, Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat and Firefly — giving you even more ways to create and get work done as your work evolves.

- [macOS only] Fixed an issue where documents appear blank in GPU Preview after switching displays or waking Mac from sleep.
- Shortcuts like Shift + F5 / Shift + F6 / Shift + F7 / Shift + F8 / Shift + F9 / Shift + F11 now work in the Search field in Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.
- Esc / Shift + Esc now works in the Search field of Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.

- [Flex Layout] Dragging an element out of a flex container while hovering on that element now works correctly.
- Effects like Drop Shadow no longer get displaced when objects are transformed.
- [macOS only] Links panel columns no longer collapse (shrink) when resizing or reordering columns.
- Exports for InCopy, snippets, ICML, and IDML no longer lose the width of the first column in a table (requires InCopy 21.6.0 or later).

Edit text with chat
Acrobat adds AI Assistant text editing for PDFs, letting users replace, rewrite, reformat, restructure, and redact content with natural language prompts on desktop and web. It previews matches, supports multiple instances, and helps users confirm changes before applying them.
Learn how to replace, rewrite, reformat, restructure, and redact text in your PDF using natural language with the AI Assistant in Adobe Acrobat.
Before you begin
Editing text with chat is available to paid Acrobat users on desktop and web, with the app language set to English. Check the supported tools and actions to confirm what is available on your plan.
When working with PDFs in Acrobat, the AI Assistant understands your document structure and content, so you can describe how you want to change your text in plain language, and it performs the action for you. Instead of finding the text and editing it manually, you describe the change, and the AI Assistant identifies the matching text by meaning, in single or multiple instances, shows you a preview, and confirms with you before the update.
You can ask the AI Assistant to perform the following actions:
- Rewrite text: Rephrase a passage for tone, length, or clarity, one section at a time.
- Replace text: Swap text for wording across multiple instances you provide, by exact match or by meaning.
- Reformat text: Change how text looks, such as font style, size, and color, or highlight it.
- Restructure text: Change how text is organized, such as turning a paragraph into a bulleted list, one section at a time.
- Redact text: Permanently remove or mask sensitive information, such as names,Social Security numbers, or account numbers. Works on a single occurrence or across multiple instances.
Open the PDF in Acrobat.
Select AI Assistant in the top bar to open the chat panel.
In the chat field, describe the change in natural language. For example:
- To replace: Replace all instances of draft with final or change all dates to DD-MM-YYYY.
- To rewrite: Make the executive summary more concise or rewrite the introduction in a more formal tone.
- To redact: Remove all instances that mention Social Security numbers in this document.
- To restructure: Convert the recommendations into bullet points or combine the list into a single paragraph.
- To reformat: Make all headings in this document blue.
Tip
You can ask the AI Assistant to make more than one text change in a single request. For example, ask it to replace product names with Aurora and company names with Brightfield simultaneously. If a change does not run as expected, add more detail to your prompt, such as section names, or page numbers.
Select Submit.
Review the highlighted text and the count of matches that AI Assistant found in the chat panel.
When your request matches more than one occurrence, AI Assistant highlights every match and takes you through them one at a time. You can preview each replacement before you confirm it, and changes are applied one instance at a time.
Select Replace or Accept based on your request to apply the change or select Skip to move to the next instance.
Note
To undo the action performed by the AI Assistant, select Undo from the top bar. If a change does not run as expected, add more detail to your prompt, such as specific wording, section names, or page numbers. If a tool does not support chat editing, the AI Assistant provides step-by-step guidance instead. If the problem persists, check common issues and their fixes.

New generation and editing experience overview
Firefly adds a beta generation and editing workspace that unifies image and video creation, editing, project media, generation history, reusable Elements, and video timelines in one creative environment for desktop users.
Discover the new generation and editing experience in Adobe Firefly to connect image and video generation, editing, and organization in a single creative environment.
The new generation and editing experience is a beta feature in Adobe Firefly, currently available for testing and feedback.
Creative workflows can involve generating content, refining individual elements, organizing related assets, and assembling content into a final output. These tasks may involve moving between different tools or workspaces.
The new generation and editing experience in Adobe Firefly provides a single workspace for generating and editing content, managing projects and assets, and working with video timelines.
Within the workspace, you can generate images and videos, save content to a project, use generated content as a reference for further generations, and edit video content. The new experience also allows you to access Project media and Generation history throughout as you move between generation and editing tasks.
Note
The new generation and editing experience is available in English on desktop for users who are signed in to their Adobe account.
Selecting Try it opens the central generation and editing workspace.
Explore the workspace
You can access the new experience by selecting Try it button on the Experience the new generation and editing experience tile from the home page. The generation and editing experience keeps your creative workflow within a project.
You can start by generating images or videos, editing existing images, or creating a video timeline. Use the Generate and Timeline options at the top of the workspace to easily move between content generation and video assembly.
The new workspace opens with the last project you were working on and has three main areas:
- Project media: Find, add, and access media associated with your projects in the left panel at all times.
- Central generation and editing workspace: Create or edit images and videos. Choose a starting action, enter a prompt, add references or elements, select a model, and adjust available generation settings.
- Generation history menu: Revisit previous results. You can view generations associated with the current project, or switch to All to browse generations beyond it.

Firefly's unified workspace combines several capabilities that allow you to create and carry an idea from initial exploration through final production:
- Connected generation and editing: Create images and videos using AI-powered generation, then refine them with editing tools without leaving your workspace or losing your work-in-progress. This integrated approach means you can experiment freely during generation and refine details afterward.
- Project-based organization: Keep related generations, media, timelines, and other creative assets together in a project. Use the Project media panel to access media associated with the current project as you generate, edit, and assemble content.
- Reusable creative elements: Build a library of Elements, reusable creative assets that represent specific visual concepts—a character design, a product you're featuring, or a location. Rather than describing the same character in every prompt, create an Element once and apply it to new generations, ensuring that visual identity remains consistent even as you explore different scenes or compositions.
- Integrated video editor: Use Timeline to sequence video clips, arrange content, and refine timing directly within Firefly. Easily arrange generated video clips, adjust timing, combine multiple sequences, and refine the flow of your video project without exporting to external editing software.
For projects that involve combining images and video, or generating multiple video segments, Timeline helps you assemble finished content while maintaining access to your source generations and project assets.
- Persistent creative context: Return to your previous work without losing the creative context. Use the Generation history dropdown menu to view generations from the current project or browse available generations, and continue working with previous results.
