Google and Adobe bring their tools closer together: PDFs from Drive and Gmail, and creative tools in Gemini

Google is expanding its partnership with Adobe so Adobe's files and editors sit closer to everyday Google apps, and Google's models show up in Adobe's apps.

✨ What changes for PDFs

Soon, PDF files from Google Drive and Gmail will be opened directly in Adobe Acrobat. Adobe Acrobat will appear as a suggested app in both services. The file preview will include an "Edit with" button that opens the file for editing right away.

This means you won't have to find the app separately, download the file, and open it again. The announcement did not give a launch date, so for now it is "soon".

📌 Creative tools where you search and chat

Adobe is expanding its connectors in Gemini, adding Acrobat and other creative tools. This will let people create and edit directly in a chat with Gemini.

Adobe's creative tools will also come to AI Mode, the AI mode in Google Search.

🔹 For businesses

Companies will be able to use Adobe's CX Enterprise Coworker AI assistant in Gemini Enterprise. It helps teams design graphics, work with PDFs, and launch marketing campaigns without switching between apps.

🔸 Experimenting with image editing

Adobe and Google DeepMind will explore new editing capabilities for creative professionals. The first will be an image model for Photoshop that could enable near-real-time edits.
