Acrobat is coming to Drive and Gmail, with no date or price

People who open a PDF in Google Drive or Gmail will soon see an option to edit it with Acrobat, but there is no date yet. Google and Adobe widened their partnership on Tuesday at Adobe MAX, Adobe's annual conference. The joint announcement gives no prices, no word on availability in Mexico and no answer on whether an Adobe subscription will be required.

For now, it is a shortcut. Acrobat will show up as a suggested app in Drive and Gmail, with an "Edit with" option in file previews. It is not an editor built into those services. It opens Adobe's app.

Traffic also flows the other way. Google will put its latest image and video models into Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere and Adobe Express, and Gemini will power AI features in Acrobat. Three of those models, Gemini Omni, Veo and Nano Banana, are already available to people using Adobe's tools.

Adobe will also expand its connectors in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise, and its tools will come to Google Search's AI mode. Google DeepMind, the company's research arm, and Adobe are studying a version of an image model tuned for Photoshop that could allow near real-time edits. That is an exploration, not a product.

Some pieces are already live. Adobe CX Enterprise Coworker is integrated into Gemini Enterprise, and Premiere now runs on Android. Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere are headed to Googlebook.

All of this is what the companies say. Nothing has been tested independently. Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said the goal is a single environment for creators and businesses "to turn their ideas into high-impact content." Anil Chakravarthy, Adobe's president and incoming CEO, spoke of helping more people "express their ideas."

The partnership is not new. In October 2025, the two companies agreed to bring Gemini, Veo and Imagen into Photoshop and Premiere. What changes now is the reverse direction, with Adobe inside Google's own apps.
