At Adobe MAX 2026 the companies shared their plans. The announcement covers areas. However, the changes to PDF editing and Photoshop are likely to attract attention.

PDF Editing Gets a New Option in Gmail

Anyone who has needed to make a quick correction to a PDF knows that downloading the file and opening it in another application can be an unnecessary extra step. Adobe and Google are looking to remove that inconvenience.

Adobe Acrobat will soon appear as a suggested application when users open PDF files through Gmail or Google Drive. I think Adobe Acrobat will also be available as a Edit with" option in the file preview allowing users to make changes, to PDF files without downloading the document first.

This could be particularly helpful when updating a resume, correcting a business report or making changes to a contract.

Acrobat is also getting Google's Gemini AI models. Users will be able to ask questions about their PDF files and find specific information without reading through every page. The AI features are also expected to help with preparing reports and presentations.

Adobe Expands Into Google's AI Ecosystem

Adobe's applications will also become part of Google's AI ecosystem, covering Gemini, Gemini Enterprise and Google's AI-powered Search experience.

Businesses will get a new AI agent called "CX Enterprise Coworker" within Gemini Enterprise. It is designed to help employees handle marketing campaigns, edit documents and work on designs through a single chat interface.

However, there are still some unanswered questions. Neither company has explained exactly how Adobe's tools will appear in Google's AI-powered Search experience or when users can expect access.

Google AI Models Head to Photoshop and Firefly

Google's image and video generation models, including Gemini Omni, Veo and Nano Banana, are being integrated into Photoshop, Premiere, Adobe Express and Firefly.

Adobe and Google DeepMind are also developing a custom image-generation model for Photoshop. The goal is to allow users to quickly visualize changes and test different versions of an image without having to repeat the entire editing process.

The real test will be seeing how these features perform once they reach users. Their utility will depend on the quality of the results, their availability, and how well they integrate into existing creative and documentary workflows.
