Edit PDFs with AI chat
Replace, rewrite, restructure, redact, format, or highlight text — just by chatting with AI Assistant.

Before you begin:
Multi-tool, content-aware, and text-editing prompts are available to individual Acrobat Pro and Studio plan users only, and are not yet supported on Teams or Enterprise plans. Check the supported tools and actions to confirm what is available on your plan.

Open the PDF in Acrobat.

Select AI Assistant   from the top bar to open the chat panel.

In the chat field, type your request in plain language, such as Delete the last two pages, Compress this file or Replace all client names to Brightfield.You can also use prompt examples to find one that fits your task.

AI Assistant identifies the task based on your request and responds with executed action in the chat panel.

Select Submit   .

Note

If your prompt involves multiple tools, AI Assistant shares a plan before performing the action. Review the response and type Yes to confirm the actions.

Review the change, then select Accept to apply it, or Skip to move to the next instance based on your request. 

Tip

If an action doesn't run as expected, include more details in your prompt, such as page numbers or file names. AI Assistant also provides step-by-step guidance for tools that don’t support the chat feature. Check common issues and fixes if the problem persists.
