Adobe Acrobat Analyzer overview: enterprise document intelligence

Adobe Acrobat Analyzer uses GenAI to extract structured, auditable insights from large volumes of documents, helping teams automate workflows, reduce risk, and make faster decisions at scale.

Adobe Acrobat Analyzer  is a new Adobe offering that makes document intelligence accessible to every function within the enterprise. By leveraging the power of Gen AI, business teams can quickly locate and analyze key insights within documents with just a few clicks, no coding or prompt engineering required. Get started with this guide for the Acrobat Analyzer release.

Getting started

Users can open Adobe Acrobat Analyzer from the Home page when signed in to Adobe Acrobat Sign.

Upload your documents

Start by getting your documents into Acrobat Analyzer. One way to do that is to directly upload one of the supported file types:

  • PDF (.pdf)
  • Word (.doc, .docx)

To upload files, navigate to the Documents tab and select 'Upload files'.
Acrobat Analyzer processes your documents in the background. When processing completes, the toast pop-up in the lower-right corner of the screen changes to Processing complete.

Refresh the page, and the extracted data is available for analysis (search, filter) and AI chat.

Organize your documents with Collections

A Collection in Acrobat Analyzer is a way to group and tag related documents for easier organization, analysis, and collaboration. Collections let you work with sets of files that share a common purpose—such as contracts containing a specific clause, agreements for a particular project, or documents you want to review together.

Tip

Each individual document can be included in up to 40 Collections

Create custom attributes

You can easily tell Acrobat Analyzer what to extract from your Collection by naming your attribute and writing a short, clear description. Acrobat Analyzer uses this description to identify the information you want—no coding or technical prompts required. Just describe the value in simple language that anyone can understand.

To create a custom attribute:

  1. Go to the Attributes tab.
  2. Select Create attribute.
  3. Enter the attribute name, type, group, and detailed definition.

Evaluate your attribute

Validate your new attribute by testing it against a sample set of documents in the evaluation workflow. Review the extracted results, refine the description until accuracy is consistent, then save the attribute so it can be applied across all of your documents.

Note

Acrobat Analyzer includes eight thoroughly tested "standard" attributes out of the box. These built-in attributes give you a reliable starting point for extracting key information from your documents.

Review and analyze documents

View extracted attributes

When you select a document, Acrobat Analyzer shows all extracted out-of-the-box and custom attributes in the context panel.

Attributes are grouped for easier reading, and each extracted value includes numbered citations that link directly to the source text. These links let you quickly review the surrounding context and confirm the accuracy of the extracted information.

    • Applied filters are listed under the top tab navigation.
