Learn how the Generate presentation tool in Adobe Acrobat turns your files and PDF Spaces into clear, visually engaging presentations in minutes.
The Generate presentation feature in Adobe Acrobat turns your documents into insightful, ready-to-edit slides so you can grasp and present the key points without having to build them manually. Acrobat breaks down complex information into slides built around your content, so dense material becomes easier to follow and understand. You can review the key points in the slides, refine them, and share the presentation with others.
How the tool works
The Generate presentation tool in Adobe Acrobat uses generative AI to turn your documents into structured, ready-to-edit presentations. From the Read panel, select Presentation or describe the presentation you want in the AI Assistant chat panel. Acrobat then generates a structured presentation with visual styles and layouts, which you can edit and refine. Learn how to generate a presentation.
If you aren't able to access this experience, the new Generate presentation feature is still rolling out and isn't available everywhere. In the meantime, you can still generate presentations with the previous experience.
