Technology Desk

In Short: The partnership builds on an expanded Adobe-Google Cloud partnership announced at Adobe MAX on October 28, 2025, and includes the integration of Gemini into Adobe's creative tools.

Google and Adobe have announced an expanded partnership that will integrate Adobe Acrobat into Google Drive and Gmail, allowing users to edit and manage PDFs directly from Google's AI interfaces. The integration is expected to bring Adobe's PDF tool to the Google apps people use daily.

According to a press release, the partnership will also enable more powerful image editing powered by Gemini within Adobe Photoshop, potentially offering users more advanced capabilities than the current models and limitations.

Adobe says more than 400 billion PDFs are opened with Acrobat each year, highlighting the potential impact of this integration on user workflows.

Google separately began rolling out new Gemini connected apps on September 23, 2026, with Adobe included in the creativity category.

The new integration will allow developers to launch integrations similar to the ones OpenTable and Instacart built into Google’s AI tools, as part of the Connected Apps Platform.

Google has also added in-chat document management directly into Gemini, providing users with a dedicated Canvas interface for coding, app previews, and document revisions.

Gemini is steadily gaining practical file editor skills, allowing users to expand documents, make adjustments, and create graphs directly within the Gemini interface.

Despite these advancements, integrating Gemini into Gmail shows a trend toward smarter, more contextual software that anticipates user needs and reduces manual work.

Google is opening up a preview of its Connected Apps Platform so developers can plug their software straight into Gemini and Search, with over 50 popular apps already working across Search and Gemini, covering everything from fitness to event tickets.
