Work smarter with the prompt bar

Last updated on Mar 5, 2026

Use natural‑language prompts to quickly find tools, get answers, and start creating, all from one place.

The prompt bar experience on the Acrobat Studio desktop homepage brings AI Assistant, search, and creation capabilities of Acrobat and Adobe Express into one streamlined space. Skip the menus and just say what you want to do. Enter a simple, natural-language prompt, and the tool guides you to the right actions, answers, or tools, turning intent into outcomes in fewer steps.

Unified starting point for your work

Designed as an intelligent command surface, the prompt bar centralizes everyday tasks so you can stay focused on what you want to achieve. Whether you’re exploring a document, generating content, or searching your files, the prompt bar removes friction and helps you get to result faster.

  • Ask questions about your documents: Select Doc Q&A, add one or more files, and enter prompts like “Summarize the key takeaways” or “Compare insights across these documents.” Learn how to explore your documents using AI Assistant and gain insights across PDF Spaces.
  • Access Acrobat tools instantly: Use the Find tools and describe your task to discover the relevant Acrobat tools, such as “Help me combine multiple PDFs into one file” or "Edit text in a PDF.”
  • Create professional presentations in minutes: Selecting Generate presentation, add a document, and prompt with requests such as “Create a 5‑slide presentation from this report” or “Turn this report into a client‑ready pitch deck with key highlights.” Learn how to generate professional presentations.
  • Explore ready‑to‑use Adobe Express templates: Select Explore templates and prompt with requests like “Show templates for flyers or invoices” or “Find templates for reports or project summaries.” Learn how to create marketing documents using Adobe Express.
  • Search across PDFs, PDF Spaces, and Adobe Express files: Use Search files to find documents by keywords in the file name or content, such as “project budget” or “pricing details.”

These capabilities give you faster access to the tools you already use while helping you discover new ways to work and create.

Use the prompt bar to begin tasks quickly - analyze documents, create visuals, build presentations, or browse templates.

Availability and access

The prompt bar is currently available in limited release for Acrobat Studio users on desktop and web, in English only. Other users will see the existing experience until the broader rollout.

The prompt bar doesn’t replace the Acrobat tools. Instead, it provides a quicker, more intelligent way to reach them, helping you search, create, and explore without interrupting your flow.
