Adobe and Google roadmap: PDF editing in Workspace, Gemini connectors, and Photoshop AI experiments

Adobe customers can already use Google's Gemini Omni, Veo, and Nano Banana models within Firefly, Photoshop, Express, and Premiere [1]. This is part of Adobe's partner model strategy, which offers multiple AI model choices alongside Adobe's professional tools. Adobe's CX Enterprise Coworker agent is also available in Gemini Enterprise, assisting teams with graphics, PDFs, and marketing campaigns [1]. Google's models will help power AI capabilities in Acrobat, helping users edit PDFs conversationally and create polished assets faster [2].

Adobe announced that Acrobat will become available in Google Workspace, providing a direct pathway from Google Drive and Gmail [1][2]. Acrobat will appear as a suggested app with an "Edit with" entry point in file previews. With over 400 billion PDFs opened annually in Acrobat, this integration aims to reduce app‑switching friction [2]. Adobe will also expand its connectors in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise with Acrobat and additional creative tools, enabling image enhancement, design customization, and PDF work within conversations [1]. Adobe's creative tools will come to AI Mode in Google Search, allowing users to move from searching to creating in one place [2]. Neither announcement specifies when these integrations will launch or whether they'll be included in existing subscription plans.

Adobe and Google DeepMind will explore new AI‑powered editing capabilities for creative professionals [1][2]. The companies are investigating customization of a Google image model for Photoshop that could enable near‑real‑time edits, allowing professionals to adjust images with prompts and choose among variants without interrupting their workflow [2]. This work is explicitly described as exploratory, with no commitment to general availability.

The announcements don't specify rollout dates for the Workspace and Gemini integrations. They also don't clarify whether Acrobat access through Workspace will require separate Adobe subscriptions or be included in Google Workspace plans. The partnership builds on existing collaborations including Premiere on Android, Adobe apps on Googlebooks, and a YouTube Shorts creation space in Premiere mobile [2].
