• Click the AI Assistant button in the upper right corner to begin.
  
• Use prompts to guide the AI Assistant in accomplishing your tasks. Example prompts:
  • "Provide a brief overview of this document."
  • "Simplify this document for me into 5 bullet points."
  • "List all the key stats in this document."
  • "What data did the researchers analyze, and what was their methodology?"

• See Getting Started with AI Assistant Prompts for more examples.

Using PDF Spaces 

PDF Spaces are AI-powered hubs within Adobe Acrobat Studio that consolidate multiple documents, files, and web links into a single workspace, similar to NotebookLM. Users can then use an AI assistant to ask questions, summarize content, and generate insights from the combined information, which includes citations for validation.

Steps to Use:

• In the Acrobat desktop application, select PDF Spaces from the left panel on the Acrobat homepage.

• In the Acrobat web interface, select PDF Spaces from the available options.
  
• Select Create a PDF Space.
• In the dialog box that opens, add files using the following options:
  • Choose files stored on Adobe Cloud storage.
  • Upload supported file types.
  • Import from third-party storage. Select Add an account to connect to third-party storage accounts.
  • Add text using the Paste copied text option.
  • Add webpage URLs using the Add link option.
• Add PDFs or links to a space and name the space.
• The Space AI Assistant will automatically summarize the content.
• Choose an AI Assistant persona (Analyst, Entertainer, Instructor, or create your own) to ask questions about the combined content.
