Hackers exploit a zero-day vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat Reader using malicious PDFs for targeted profiling and potential system compromise.
With the launch of Acrobat Spaces, Adobe aims to provide students with a comprehensive tool for creating study materials, competing with existing AI solutions like Google's NotebookLM and Goodnotes.
Now, Adobe is allowing users to use the information stored in these files and notes to create a presentation using text prompts. For instance, if a user has financial details, product plans, and competitor analysis available in a Space, they can build a pitch deck for clients that focuses on why their product can solve problems better than rivals. Acrobat's AI assistant first generates an editable presentation with points that the deck would cover.
