Some Adobe tools will end up in Google Search's AI mode, as well.

Adobe held its Max conference in Miami today and the company announced an updated partnership with the search giant Google. The two entities are developing integrations across software products that actually sound pretty useful.

First up, Adobe Acrobat is receiving deeper connectivity with Google Drive and Gmail. This will create a "direct pathway" between the software products, meaning that there will be an "edit with Acrobat" option in file previews. Editing PDFs can be a bit finicky and this should streamline the process a bit.

We're expanding our partnership with @Adobe to integrate Adobe's creative and productivity tools directly into @GeminiApp, @GoogleCloud's Gemini Enterprise, @GoogleWorkspace, and AI Mode in Google Search, while bringing Google's frontier models into more Adobe apps.

This will also go in the other direction. Google's AI models will be added to Acrobat, which should "help people edit PDFs conversationally, understand the information in their documents and create polished assets like presentations, resumes and reports faster."

To that end, the companies say that users will be able to access Acrobat directly from the chat window in Gemini. This is even coming to AI Mode in Google Search at some point in the future.

Adobe says this connectivity will expand beyond Acrobat and into its other products, but we don't have too many details on that just yet. Subscribers can already access many Google AI models when using stuff like Photoshop, Express and Premiere, but the process should get simpler in the coming months.
