Editing a PDF from Gmail or Google Drive is set to become more direct under an expanded Adobe and Google partnership unveiled at Adobe MAX 2026 on November 10. Google said the agreement will bring Adobe’s creative and productivity tools into its everyday apps while adding Google’s frontier AI models to Adobe applications.
The expansion targets the interruptions that come with moving between apps to edit documents or adjust images. Google described closer connections across email, file storage, search and AI assistants, covering both creative professionals and enterprise users.
For PDFs, Adobe Acrobat will appear as a suggested app in Google Drive and Gmail. File previews will include an “Edit with” option, giving users a direct route from those services into Acrobat rather than a separate starting point for editing.
Adobe and Google’s partnership extends into Gemini and Photoshop
The AI portion runs in both directions: Google’s frontier models will enter Adobe apps, while Adobe will expand its tools within Google’s AI products. That includes Acrobat and additional creative tools through connectors in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise.
Adobe will also make its creative tools available through AI Mode in Google Search, extending the integration beyond email and file storage to search and chat.
The Adobe and Google partnership also includes exploratory work on image editing. Adobe and Google DeepMind will investigate editing capabilities for creative professionals, beginning with an image model for Photoshop that could support near-real-time edits. Google presented that work as exploration rather than a finished editing feature.
For businesses, the expansion includes access to Adobe’s CX Enterprise Coworker AI assistant within Gemini Enterprise.
