Adobe Acrobat uses AI to turn your PDFs into podcasts
"Adobe has added new generative AI features to Acrobat that aim to help you quickly edit PDFs and summarize them in audio and visual formats. These updates include chat-based editing and the ability to generate personalized podcasts and presentations based on your docs, which are now available in Acrobat Studio - the AI-infused document workspace app that's distinct from Adobe's basic PDF reader."
"While Adobe does have its own audio AI model, Generate Podcast currently leverages a Microsoft GPT model for transcription and a Google voice model. Adobe says this may change in the future as it continues to test technologies. Google's NotebookLM research tool has a similar Audio Overviews feature, though Adobe Acrobat is likely more familiar to anyone who's worked with PDF documents."
Acrobat Studio now includes generative AI features for quick PDF editing and multimodal summarization. The app offers chat-based editing that allows users to add signatures, remove pages, text, comments, and images, and replace words or phrases by describing desired changes. Generate Podcast creates podcast-style audio summaries from notes, meeting transcriptions, reports, and guides, currently using a Microsoft GPT model for transcription and a Google voice model. Generate Presentation produces pitch decks using Adobe Express designs focusing on insights from source documents, with options to automate or manually edit generated slides.
