3D Materials on Text & Shapes - Available now in After Effects Beta

Version 27.0.41 of After Effects Beta introduces support for 3D Materials on Text & Shapes. You can now apply Substance materials directly to 3D text and shape layers in Advanced 3D, replacing their default legacy materials with something photo-real or stylized — think wood, stone, brushed metal, or sci-fi surfaces. You can assign different materials to the front, bevel, side, and back, and bevel independently, following the same material assignment workflow you'd use on parametric meshes and 3D models. It works together with the Layers as Material Sources feature, so you can use animated pre-comps, solids, images, and video as materials on your 3D text and shapes too, not just Substance (SBSAR) materials. Getting StartedSelect a 3D text or shape layer, then open the Material Assignment dropdown in the Timeline or use the Properties panel to assign a Substance material (or a layer, if you also have Layers as Material Sources enabled). Use the per-face options to apply separate materials to the front, bevel, side, or back, or bevel, and adjust placement, scale, rotation, tiling, and randomize offset controls to fine-tune the look. Switching the renderer to Classic 3D or Cinema 4D will revert affected layers to their default legacy material, but switching back to Advanced 3D will restore the new materials. We'd love your feedback on:  How intuitive it is to assign and manage per-face materials on text and shapes  Whether the material transform controls feel consistent with what you're used to on parametric meshes/models  How well materials interact with text animators and existing fill/stroke overrides  Performance when applying materials across many characters or complex shape layers  Known Issues and Feature Limitations  Copy/paste of material assignments and streams between layers can behave unexpectedly.  Multi-select support in the Properties panel is still being worked on. Multi-select in the Timeline should work fine, however. Projects saved in 25.x may lose links to their assigned SBSARs when reopened in 27.x.  Some UI polish is still in progress, especially in the Properties panel. Materials on 3D AV layers, compositions, and solids are out of scope for this release. If you need to apply a material to a flat 3D layer, use a plane – those other layer types can be applied to it as a material.  Please give this new functionality a try and let us know how it's working for you! 

Layers as Materials - Now Available in After Effects Beta

Version 27.0x41 of After Effects Beta introduces support for Layers as Material Sources. You can now apply layers — animated pre-comps, solids, images, and videos — directly as 3D materials on parametric meshes, 3D models and 3D text and shapes when using the Advanced 3D renderer. No more round-tripping through other apps or baking out intermediate textures: animate your 2D content and your 3D scene together, in the same project. We’re also changing how materials are applied so that you don’t have to scroll through big lists of material assignment slots when you only want to tweak part of a model.  Getting Started Select a parametric mesh, 3D model, 3D text, or 3D shape, then open the Material dropdown in the Timeline or Properties panel and choose any eligible layer to use it as the base color source. Once assigned, you can fine-tune the look using new intrinsic material streams — Opacity, Roughness, Metallic, Emission Color, Emission Intensity, and Ambient Response — all keyframeable and expression-friendly just like other default material properties. You can even mix layer-based and Substance 3D materials on objects with multiple material assignments. We'd love your feedback on:  How intuitive the material source dropdown is to find and use (including the new search/filter options for Comps, Footage, and SBSARs)  Whether the exposed scalar properties (Roughness, Metallic, etc.) give you enough control  Performance with animated compositions as sources, especially in interactive preview  Any crashes or unexpected behavior when copying, pasting, or duplicating layers/comps with material assignments    Known Issues and Feature Limitations  Decals (applying a layer to only part of a model rather than the full surface) are not supported in this first version — full-model/assignment texture wraps only for now.You can work around this somewhat by precomposing a material and adding the “decal” to the precomp. Some edge cases (e.g., circular references between layers used as materials) can cause a crash. Avoid assigning a layer as a material source to itself via another layer    Please give this new functionality a try and let us know how it's working for you! 

Now in Beta: Audio Leveling in Premiere

Hey everyone! We're excited to share a new dialogue tool that just landed in Premiere Beta 27.0 Build 39: Audio Leveling. It analyzes a dialogue clip and automatically writes volume keyframes that even out the level, so your dialogue sits at a consistent, balanced loudness without you drawing automation by hand.What's New?Audio Leveling listens to your dialogue clip and rides the volume keyframes for you. It detects where the level jumps too hot or drops too low, then lays down clip volume keyframes that attenuate the loud spots and lift the quiet ones toward a steady target. Instead of one static volume adjustment for the whole clip, you get moment-to-moment level balancing that follows the performance. And because the result is real keyframes on your clip, nothing is locked in. You can nudge, reshape, or remove any of them just like keyframes you drew yourself. Where to find itSelect a dialogue clip and you'll find Audio Leveling inside the Loudness module of the Essential Sound panel. Trigger it on the selected clip, and Premiere analyzes the audio and writes the balancing keyframes for you. From there, the keyframes are fully editable on the clip if you want to fine-tune the result. Why this mattersDialogue is rarely recorded at one even level. A talent leans in and clips hot, then turns away and drops under the bed, and you end up hand-drawing volume keyframes clip by clip just to make the conversation sit evenly. Audio Leveling takes that pass off your plate and gives you a balanced starting point you can refine, all inside the timeline.You can:Even out inconsistent dialogue levels in one pass instead of keyframing by hand. Tame hot peaks and lift quiet passages toward a consistent target. Start from automatic keyframes, then reshape or remove any of them. Keep dialogue sitting evenly across a scene before you mix.Try It OutAudio Leveling is available now in the latest Premiere Beta build 27.0 Build 39. Run it on your dialogue clips as part of your usual cleanup pass and let us know how the balancing feels. Your feedback shapes how Audio Leveling evolves.Happy editing!  Note: We're still polishing some interactions, so expect to see improvements as we iterate. 

After Effects Beta 27.0x41 – Audio De-esser

Starting with After Effects Beta 27.0x41, a new Audio De-esser effect is now available. This compliments the previous audio effect updates released in 26.0 (e.g. compressor, noise gate, distortion). What is a de-esser?If you've ever recorded a voiceover or narration and noticed that the "s", "sh", "z", and "t" sounds jump out sharp and hissy — almost whistling — that's sibilance. It's completely normal, especially with certain microphones, close-mic'd voices, or bright EQ. But it can be fatiguing to listen to and makes an otherwise clean recording feel harsh.A de-esser fixes exactly this. It's a smart, automatic volume control that only kicks in on those harsh high-frequency sounds and gently turns the the audio down automatically. You get a smoother, more polished vocal without dulling the whole track.The new De-esser effect in After Effects lives under Effect > Audio > De-esser. Drop it on any audio layer and you're ready to go.  Why use it?Vocals and narration — the most common use. Removes the "essy" harshness from spoken word. Podcasts and interviews — keeps long-form speech comfortable to listen to. Sung vocals — tames sibilance that gets exaggerated by compression or bright mixes. Anywhere a bright, hissy top end is distracting — even some dialogue or sound effects.The goal is subtlety: a good de-esser is one you don't notice. You're aiming to take the edge off, not remove the "s" sounds entirely. Getting StartedAdd the effect to your audio layer (Effect > Audio > De-esser). Turn on Sibilance Only and play the audio. Adjust Frequency and Bandwidth until the "s" sounds are the loudest thing you hear. Turn Sibilance Only back off. Lower the Threshold until the harshness is gone — but stop before the voice starts to sound dull or lispy. Tweak Release if you hear any pumping. The Parameters Parameter What it Does Threshold How loud a sibilant sound must get before the effect turns it down. Frequency The center of the frequency range the effect listens to for sibilance. Bandwidth How wide that listening range is. Attack How quickly the effect reacts once it catches a sibilant sound. Release How quickly it lets go afterward. Sibilance Only A "listen" mode for setting up the effect (see below).  ThresholdThis sets how sensitive the de-esser is. Lower (more negative) values make it more aggressive — it acts on more of the sibilance. Higher values (closer to 0) make it gentler. It only reacts to the loudest, harshest "s" sounds. Start in the middle and adjust by ear until the harshness is gone but the voice still sounds natural.FrequencyThis is where the effect goes looking for sibilance. Most "s" and "sh" sounds live in the 5,000–8,000 Hz range, and the default of 7,000 Hz is a great starting point. If the voice is deeper (many male voices), try nudging it lower (4,000–5,000 Hz). For brighter or higher voices, push it up (8,000–10,000 Hz).BandwidthThis controls how wide a slice of frequencies the effect targets around your chosen Frequency. A wider bandwidth catches more of the sibilant sound but can start affecting nearby parts of the voice. A narrower bandwidth is more surgical and less noticeable, but might miss some of the harshness. The default of 3,000 Hz works well for most voices.AttackHow fast the effect clamps down once it hears a harsh sound. The default (1 ms) is nearly instant, which is usually what you want so it catches the sibilant as it happens. Slightly slower values let the very start of a word through before acting, which can sound more natural on some voices.ReleaseHow quickly the effect backs off after the sibilant passes. Too fast and you may hear a subtle "pumping" as it grabs and releases; a bit slower (the default is 50 ms) smooths that out. Longer values (100–200 ms) may give more a transparent, “invisible” result.Sibilance OnlyThis is a setup helper, not something you leave on for the final mix. When enabled, you hear only the frequencies the effect is currently listening to. Turn it on, play your audio, and adjust Frequency and Bandwidth until the "s" sounds are loud and clear in your ears — that means you've zeroed in on the sibilance. Then turn it back off and let the de-esser do its job. Suggested starting pointsThese are good places to begin but always trust your ears and adjust from here.General voiceover / narrationThreshold: around -20 dB Frequency: 7,000 Hz Bandwidth: 3,000 Hz Attack: 1 ms Release: 50–100 msDeeper male voiceThreshold: around -18 dB Frequency: 4,000–5,000 Hz Bandwidth: 2,500 Hz Attack: 2 ms Release: 100 msBright / higher voiceThreshold: around -20 dB Frequency: 8,000 Hz Bandwidth: 3,000 Hz Attack: 1 ms Release: 75 msJust take the edge off (very subtle)Threshold: around -10 dB Frequency: 7,000 Hz Bandwidth: 2,000 Hz Attack: 1 ms Release: 100 ms A Few TipsLess is more. If you can clearly hear the de-esser working, you've probably gone too far. Back off the Threshold. If words start sounding like a lisp, you're removing too much — raise the Threshold or narrow the Bandwidth. Every voice is different. The defaults are a starting point, not a rule. The Sibilance Only mode is the fastest way to dial it in for a specific recording.

Now in Beta: Timeline Track Header Labels

Hey everyone! A new quality of life feature just landed in Premiere Beta 27.0 Build 39: color labels for timeline track headers. If you've ever wanted an at-a-glance way to tell your tracks apart on a busy timeline, this is for you.What's New?You can now assign a color label directly to any track header, video, audio, or caption track. It works just like clip labels: pick from any of your project's 16 label colors and apply it to the track itself. This colors just the track header, not the clips sitting on that track, so your timeline stays readable without re-labeling everything on it. Where to find itRight-click any timeline track header and choose a color label from your project's label colors. Click the swatch to toggle it off if you want the track back to no color, and click again to reapply a color. Track Header right-clic menuClick the swatch to toggle it off Why this mattersOn a timeline with a lot of tracks, it's easy to lose track of which is which, especially once you're juggling multiple dialogue, music, or caption tracks side by side.You can:Tell tracks apart at a glance without hunting through names. Group related tracks visually (all your VO tracks in one color, all your music beds in another). Toggle a track's color off and on as your organization needs change. Keep the coloring scoped to the header, so your clip colors stay untouched.Try It OutTimeline Track Header Labels are available now in the latest Premiere Beta 27.0 Build 39. Give it a try on your own timelines and let us know how the workflow feels, especially around discoverability and whether 16 colors covers how you organize. Your feedback shapes where this goes next. Happy editing! Note: We're still polishing some interactions, so expect to see improvements as we iterate.

Now in Beta: Enhance Audio in Premiere

Hi everyone! As a dialogue editor, I've always chased the same thing: the tool that gets me the best-sounding result in the least amount of time, and the most control over my dialogue, whether I recorded it myself or it came back from set in whatever shape it happened to be in.For years, the answer meant reaching for a few different tools. One to make the voice sound better, another to wrestle down the background noise. And production audio is never just "speech." There's ambience, there's music, there are effects, all baked into the same recording, and that's exactly what makes cleaning it up so hard.This is where Enhance Audio comes to shine. In the same spirit as what we showed at MAX Sneaks last year, it hands you control over the ambience, the music, the sound effects, and the dialogue, and lets you rebalance every stem as much as you need. That's what makes it one of the most powerful noise reduction tools in Premiere today.For a couple of years now, the one thing you've told us over and over is that you want the same Enhance Speech enhancement you get on the web, right inside Premiere. That's exactly what Enhance Audio brings in, and it brings it all together. The next generation of Enhance Speech is live now in Premiere Beta 27.0 (Build 36), pairing Enhance Speech V2 with full source separation, built right in.What's New?Point Enhance Audio at a clip and it pulls the recording apart into its component layers: speech, music, ambience, sound effects, and reverb. From there you're not stuck with one blended result. You can dial how much enhancement lands on the voice and balance the separated layers against each other until the clip sits the way you need.It's a hybrid approach. The source separation runs on-device, while Enhance Speech V2, our highest-quality voice model, runs in the cloud as part of Firefly. As a cloud model it draws two generative credits per minute, from the pool already included with your Creative Cloud subscription. Want to stay fully local? Enhance Audio works with Enhance Speech V1 too, and picking it still gives you the complete source separation on-device, with no credits used. Enhancing with V2 is the only thing that ever touches your credits.You also choose which model runs globally. Set a default in Preferences, or switch between V1 and V2 on the fly from the settings inside the Properties panel when a clip calls for it. Clip Settings to switch between Enhance Speech Cloud or local modelAI Model Preferences Where to find itEnhance Audio lives in the Audio section of the Properties panel. Select a clip and the Enhance controls are right there. Prefer menus? You can trigger it from the right-click menu or the Clip menu just as easily. Either way, select your clip, click Enhance, and Premiere does its thing. When it's done, you're ready to start reshaping the clip. Enhance Audio as part of the Properties PanelRight click menu entry pointThe controlsOnce a clip is enhanced, you get a section for each layer: dialogue, music, ambience, and sound effects.Dialogue is where you get the most say, with three controls:Volume, to ride the level of the dialogue on its own. Enhancement, to set how much cleanup you want. Take it all the way down and you're back to the original sound; push it up and you get the full treatment from Enhance Speech V2, with everything in between on the table. Reverb, to pull the room off the voice. How much this one does depends on the clip: a reverberant recording will show an obvious change, while a dry one barely moves. It only touches the reverb on the speech, nothing else.   Enhance Audio Dialogue ControlsMusic, ambience, and sound effects each get a volume control, so you can bring a stem up, tuck it down, or click its icon to mute it entirely when you want it gone. And you're not doing this blind. The clip's waveform reacts as you go, so the moment you lower or mute a stem, you can watch the change land right there on the timeline. Full Stems ControlsEditing after you enhanceHere's one that used to drive people up the wall. On Enhance Speech V1, every little edit, a cut, a fade, a trim, kicked off another re-render. That's gone. Edit an enhanced clip however you like and it just plays, no reprocessing to sit through.Every enhancement also comes with five seconds of handles on each side. Trim in or pull out within those handles and there's nothing to reprocess, it's already done. The only time Premiere goes back to work is when you extend past the handles into material it hasn't analyzed yet, and even then it only processes the new section, not the whole clip.One thing to keep in mind on Enhance Speech V2: reprocessing that new material runs through the cloud model, so it draws credits at the usual two-per-minute rate, just for the speech enhancement part. Stay inside your handles, or work on V1, and it costs you nothing. Splitting to clipsWant to really get in there? You can split the enhanced result into separate clips, one per element. Speech, music, ambience, and effects each land on the timeline as their own clip, so you can edit, level, and move them on their own. It's the difference between a cleaner clip and a real starting point: exactly what you want when you're prepping a turnover, or any time you'd rather work the stems by hand. Work with the stems as individual clips in the timelineWhy this mattersCleaning up production audio has always meant hopping between tools, or accepting one blended pass and hoping it holds. When the dialogue, the room, the traffic outside, and the music bed are all fused into one recording, a single "reduce noise" move can only get you so far. Real separation is what turns that from damage control into actual control, and now it's sitting right where you already edit.You can:Enhance dialogue to studio-level quality without leaving Premiere. Separate speech, music, ambience, sound effects, and reverb in a single pass. Rebalance those layers instead of accepting one blended result. Run cloud-based Enhance Speech V2 for top quality, or Enhance Speech V1 fully on-device with separation included. Split the result into independent clips for turnovers or full timeline control.   Try It OutEnhance Audio is live now in Premiere Beta 27.0 (Build 36). Throw your real production audio at it, the messy stuff, and tell us how it holds up. We're still working through a number of details and there's more on the way, but we wanted this in your hands as early as we could. Your feedback right now is what shapes where it goes.Happy editing from your audio friends!Note: Still polishing plenty here, so expect things to keep changing as we iterate.

Now in Beta: Effects panel visual previews

The Effects panel just got a major glow-up! Animated previews give you a sense of what an effect does, and advanced search makes it more likely you'll find what you're looking for. It's visual, it's fun, and it just might help you find something creative that's been hiding in plain sight.Say hello to the New Effects Panel — a reimagined Effects panel that shows you what an effect actually does before you commit to it.What's NewAnimated preview thumbnails. Hover over an effect or transition and you'll see a short animated preview of it in action, so you know what you're getting before you drag it onto a clip. Preview from Source. Want to know what an effect will look like on your footage, not a generic clip? Preview from Source is an option that shows the effect applied to whatever's under your playhead in the Program Monitor. Scrubbing stays smooth — previews update once you let go of the playhead, not while you're dragging through it. Smarter search. We overhauled search with keyword matching, so searching "color" surfaces obvious hits like Lumetri Color, but also less obvious ones like Brightness & Contrast or Vignette.  We thoughtfully tagged each effect with terms editors (and non-editors) actually use so you don't need to know exact Adobe-specific term to find what you're looking for.  “Green screen” will yield “Ultra Key” for example. Fuzzy search. Typo'd "Gassain" instead of "Gaussian"? We'll still find it. Search now tolerates small misspellings, giving you a greater chance of finding what you are looking for. Browsable by category. Click a folder in the effects tree — Blur & Sharpen, Color Correction, whatever — and the browser shows previews for everything inside it. You can still search the folder tree if that’s the way you prefer to work. Favorites, unchanged. Starring an effect still adds it to your Favorites bin, just like before. We haven't taken anything away — only added the visual layer on top.This effort is closely tied to the Film Impact acquisition — a lot of the visual inspiration comes straight from the Film Impact Dashboard, which many of you have used through Window > Extensions. As the Visual Effects Browser rolls out, we will retire the Film Impact Dashboard, since its functionality is now built natively into the Effects panel you already use every day. All effects are in one place, including Film Impact which no longer have any Film Impact branding.But wait, there’s moreThe Effects panel and the Properties panel are besties! Now that you can edit effect parameters in the Properties panel, the experience of adding and manipulating effects feels way more modern.  Try them both out together!  Learn more about the properties panel here: Now in Beta: Effects in Properties PanelThings to look out forPreview thumbnails are only for Video Effects and transitions. Audio effects and transitions don't have visual previews yet. We're investigating visual previews for these down the line. Preview from Source currently only works for video effects.  Video transitions and audio do not support preview from source. 3rd party plugins will not have previews or keywords, but we will publish a plugin SDK update so they can add them in later releases if they choose.We Want Your FeedbackPlease install the beta, open a project, and take the new Effects panel for a spin. We'd especially love to hear about:Whether the animated previews actually help you pick the right effect faster How Preview from Source feels in a real project — timing, accuracy, performance Search: are you finding effects you expect with natural-language or misspelled queries?

Lost the Original File? Here's How to Convert Any Format to and from PDF

Lost the Original File? Here's How to Convert Any Format to and from PDF

Hey everyone, Joe here. We've all been there: you have a final PDF but need a major edit, and the original Word or PowerPoint file is nowhere to be found. I want to show you how Acrobat converts PDFs to and from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and images, while keeping your layout, fonts, and images intact. What you need: Any Acrobat plan. Converting documents to and from PDF is included starting with Acrobat Standard, confirmed on Adobe's own plan comparison page. What you can do: Turn a PDF into an editable Word document in a couple of clicks, or go the other way, like turning a JPEG into a shareable, high-quality PDF. Skip rebuilding from scratch when the original file is long gone.  👉🏼 Try it now: Convert a PDF  Method 1: Convert a PDF to Word. With your PDF open, select Convert from the global bar, choose Microsoft Word, then select Convert to DOCX. Method 2: Convert a file to PDF. Select Create from the global bar, choose Create PDF, then choose your file and drag it into the window. The same flow works for Excel, PowerPoint, and other formats, just swap the format you select. Watch the full walkthrough below Good to know: Best results come from native PDFs; scanned or complex layouts may need a little cleanup afterward  Converting Microsoft Office files may require the matching version of Office installed on your computer  Password-protected PDFs work too, just enter the password to open the file, then convert as usual 👉🏼 New to converting in Acrobat? See all supported formats for the full picture. I'll be in the comments. Let me know which conversion you'll try first. — Joe

Illustrator 30.8 | Relink missing files, select through shadows, compare styles in Concept to Vector, new pattern & gradient swatches, and more

Hey all!Illustrator 30.8 is a satisfying mix of workflow quality-of-life and creative firepower. On the practical side, relinking one missing file now brings its neighbors along, and you can click a shadow or effect without accidentally grabbing the object behind it. On the creative side, Concept to Vector can generate and compare up to eight style variations side by side (now powered by GPT Image 2.0), and the content libraries have been refreshed with new ready-to-use gradient and pattern swatches. This release also ships a batch of customer-reported fixes.For full details, check out the release notes. Relink missing files at onceWhen you relink one missing file, Illustrator automatically finds and relinks the other missing files sitting in the same folder, so you can fix a whole folder's worth of broken links in a single action. Learn how to relink images.Select through shadows and effectsIllustrator no longer selects an object when you click only on its drop shadow or the area of an applied effect, which cuts down on accidental selections and makes isolating exactly the element you want far easier. Learn how to skip shadows and effects when selecting objects.Compare design styles in Concept to VectorConcept to Vector can now generate and review up to eight preset variations side by side, so you can compare stylistic directions at a glance instead of waiting for one result at a time. You can also invoke it directly on an unexpanded Image Trace object to generate a vector from the original base image rather than the traced output, and it's now powered by GPT Image 2.0. (Unavailable in mainland China, Russia, and Belarus.) Learn how to generate vector artwork from raster images.Elevate your artwork with new pattern swatchesBrowse the refreshed, modernised content libraries for new ready-to-use patterns, ranging from subtle grit textures to hypnotic optical effects, and drop them straight into your work. Learn how to create and use patterns.Create richer designs with new gradient swatchesThe updated libraries also bring a fresh set of gradients, from organic fades to holographic glows. Open Swatch Libraries to browse and apply them. Learn how to apply a gradient.Fixed IssuesIllustrator 30.8 resolves a number of issues reported by the community:Recolor Artwork produced incorrect colours when using Color Book swatches. Select Next Object commands in the context menu selected objects incorrectly in Isolation mode. Colour settings became unsynchronised after placing an image in a document. Groups with no appearance attributes incorrectly showed a custom appearance.For the full list with linked bug reports, see the release notes. Get Started​​Update to Illustrator 30.8 from the Creative Cloud desktop app (select Update next to Illustrator).

Edit PDF text with AI Assistant in Acrobat — replace, reformat, highlight, and redact via chat

Hi everyone,A lot of you have asked for a faster way to make text changes in PDFs without switching modes, hunting through menus, or manually selecting every instance. Today that's here, for individual Acrobat Pro and Studio users on desktop.You can now edit, format, highlight, and redact PDF text by chatting with AI Assistant, and it finds what you're asking about based on its meaning or appearance, not just exact matches.Here's what that looks like in practice. Say you have a proposal PDF and you want every client name swapped out before sending. Instead of running Find & Replace twelve times, you type: "Replace all client names with Brightfield." AI Assistant reads the document, finds every match, shows you a preview, and waits for you to accept or skip each change before applying anything. Want all the dates highlighted in yellow? Same idea: "Highlight all dates in yellow." What you can do with Edit PDFs via chatReplace, rewrite, restructure, or delete text based on its meaning Change font style, size, color, family, spacing, and indentation Add, recolor, or remove highlights Redact sensitive information across single or multiple instances Find text by meaning or appearance Chain multiple actions in one request Reference sections by topic, AI Assistant finds the right pages and elements for youWhat's the difference between Edit text, Format text, and Highlight text?Edit text — replace, rewrite, restructure, or delete the words themselves Format text — change font style, size, color, family, spacing, and indentation Highlight text — add, recolor, or remove highlights on identified textWhat's available on your plan  Tool Reader Standard Pro Studio Find, Print, Share, Add Signature ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Create, Convert, Delete, Export, Extract, Find & Replace, Rotate pages, Compress, Password protect, Scan & OCR — ✓ ✓ ✓ Organize, Header, Footer, Watermark — — ✓ ✓ Edit text, Format text, Highlight text, Redact text via chat — — ✓ ✓ Multi-tool workflows — — ✓ ✓ Content-aware prompts — — ✓ ✓  NOTE: All conversational actions, including text editing, formatting, highlighting, redacting, multi-tool workflows, and content-aware prompts, require an individual Acrobat Pro or Studio plan and are not yet supported on Teams or Enterprise plans. None of this consumes generative credits or counts against your AI Assistant request limit.  Try it yourself: edit a PDF via chat. Open Acrobat. ​​​​​​Don't have Acrobat yet? Download Acrobat  Select the AI Assistant from the top bar in Acrobat to get startedOpen your PDF in Acrobat on desktop and select AI Assistant from the top bar.

Changed your mind? Select Undo on the top bar.Steps reflect the current release of Adobe Acrobat as of August 2026. Handy things to keep in your back pocketWorking with a scanned PDF? Run Scan & OCR first, then use chat editing — AI Assistant handles the rest. Prompts worth tryingAll prompts below require an individual Acrobat Pro or Studio plan. Simple Multi-tool Content-aware "Add page numbers to the footer" "Remove the last two pages and compress the file" "Replace all client names with Brightfield" "Compress this file" "Compress this file and share it with johndoe@company.com" "Add a CONFIDENTIAL watermark on pages with pricing information" "Make all headings bold" "Organize pages and add a header with the document title" "Reorder pages so pricing appears before case studies" "Rotate page 4 clockwise" "Extract pages 1 to 5 and export as a Word document" "Replace all product names with 'Product X' throughout the document" "Add a password to this file"   "Convert the recommendations into bullet points"  If something doesn't run as expected, the most common fix is adding more detail to your prompt, page numbers, section names, or a description of what the content looks like.

Beta Build 30.9.32 Release Notes

Hello, Latest Beta Build 30.9.32 is now available in CCD. We have below fixes in this build:AI Assistant — Beta Release NotesFollowing our last beta drop , here's the next batch of AI Assistant improvements — now live in the latest Illustrator Beta. This release is focused on making Skills fully manageable from the UI, smoother file attachments, and squashing a set of high-priority stability bugs you flagged.A quick reminder — what the Assistant is: your product partner that takes on the repetitive, time-consuming work, so you can spend more time designing and creating.What's newManage Skills directly from the UISkills are no longer just create-and-run — you can now create, edit, and delete them without retyping anything.Create & edit Skills from a dedicated Skill editor. Kick off the edit flow straight from the / menu(button or keypress). Delete a Skill from the UI, including from within an active session. Cleaner, more consistent Skill file naming.How to use: Type / in the Assistant field to browse your Skills, then create, edit, or delete right from there. Faster ways to attach filesGetting your references into the Assistant is quicker and more natural.Paste to attach:copy an image or take a screenshot and pressCtrl+Vto upload it directly.

Now in Beta: Support for editable text from Illustrator files

Version 27.0x33 of After Effects Beta introduces support for editable text from Illustrator files.Previously, converting an Illustrator layer to native shapes would turn all its vector content into shape layers and text would be lost unless it had been converted to curves. Now, text stays text: when you use Create Shapes and Text from Vector Layer on an Illustrator footage layer, text objects come into your comp as fully editable After Effects text layers instead of outlines. Font, size, fill, position, styles (like bold and italic), strokes, and variable font settings all carry over, so you can keep editing in After Effects instead of being locked into static shapes.  Getting StartedSelect an imported Illustrator layer in the Timeline, then choose Layer > Create > Create Shapes and Text from Vector Layer. Any text in the source file will be converted into its own editable text layer (rather than a shape layer), matching the font, size, fill, and position from the original file as closely as possible. Shapes in the same file still convert to shape layers as before, and, if a file contains both, you'll get a mix of text and shape layers.We'd love your feedback on:How well converted text matches the original Illustrator styling (font, fill, size, position, bold/italic, strokes, variable font axes) Whether text layers are split up the way you'd expect when a file has multiple text objects or paragraphs Any fonts, styles, or layouts that don't convert as expected General feel of the workflow compared to the old shapes-only conversionKnown Issues and Feature LimitationsStroke-only text will still convert as paths. This is a technical limitation. In some cases, position will be retained but be numerically different because the anchor point may be in a different location.Please give this new functionality a try and let us know how it's working for you! 

Illustrator Creative Challenge #5: Design Seamless Gift Wrap with the Pattern Tool

Illustrator Creative Challenge #5: Design Seamless Gift Wrap with the Pattern Tool

Welcome back to the Illustrator Creative Challenges - our monthly nudge to open Illustrator, learn something, and share it with the community. This time, we're zooming right in on a single, brilliant feature - the Pattern tool, and using it to design seamless gift wrap. THE CHALLENGE: WRAP A HOLIDAY THAT DOESN'T EXISTDesign a sheet of wrapping paper for an occasion nobody's ever celebrated. Invent the holiday, draw one small motif, and let the Pattern tool repeat it into seamless gift wrap. The tool is the point, the theme is yours.WHAT TO INCLUDEOne repeating motif (or a small set) - the star of your paper. A seamless tile - no visible seams or gaps where the pattern repeats. A defined palette - two to four colors that feel like a set. (Optional) show it as wrap - drop your pattern onto a box or roll so it looks real.The magic metric here: invisible seams. When you can't tell where one tile ends and the next begins, you've nailed it. HERE'S MINEI made wrapping paper for National Nap Day - sleepy animals, crescent moons, and little "zzz"s. Here's the workflow:I drew a few small motifs - a curled-up cat, a crescent moon, a tiny "zzz", a chicken, and more - with the Shape and Pen tools. I then selected all the objects and chose Object > Pattern > Make, which dropped me straight into Pattern Editing Mode and added a swatch to the Swatches panel. In the Pattern Options panel, I switched the Tile Type to Brick by Row, set the offset to 1/3 and nudged the spacing to 100pt, so the motifs scatter naturally instead of sitting in a stiff grid. I hit Done, drew a big rectangle, and clicked my swatch to fill it. A quick scale (with Transform Patterns turned on) sized the motifs just right.  YOUR ONE TOOL FOR THIS CHALLENGE: THE PATTERN TOOLMake it - draw a few motifs, select them all, and choose Object > Pattern > Make. Illustrator saves a swatch and opens Pattern Editing Mode. Dial the tile - in the Pattern Options panel, change the Tile Type (Grid, Brick by Row/Column, Hex) and adjust spacing and overlap. This is where a rigid grid becomes a natural, professional scatter. Edit anytime - double-click the swatch to re-enter and tweak; every object using the pattern updates automatically. Apply & scale - click Done, select a big rectangle, and click your swatch to fill it. To resize the motifs without resizing the box, scale with Transform Patterns on (Object > Transform).The only supporting act: draw your motif first with the Shape and Pen tools. Simple, chunky shapes tile far more cleanly than fiddly ones. HOW TO TAKE PARTReply to this thread with:Your finished gift wrap - a filled sheet showing the repeat. A line on your process - the holiday you invented, and how you tiled it (Tile Type, spacing). Honestly, this is the best part to read, so don't skip it.  👍 Like · ⭐ Subscribe for the next one · 📣 Share with someone who'd join in

We are happy to introduce Enhance Edge is available in Beta!

We are happy to introduce Enhance Edge is available in Beta!

We are happy to introduce Enhance Edge is available in Beta (Aug 31, 2026 - 27.11.0 20260830.m.3655). WHAT IS THIS FEATURE Enhance Edge uses AI to analyze pixels at the edge of a mask, removing background color fringing while preserving fine details and generating smooth, natural-looking edges. This feature is particularly good at removing high contrast background colors from hair and fur.Enhance Edge is a Generative AI feature that costs 20 credits and requires an internet connection.  HOW TO TEST 1. Open or place an image you would like to cut out or remove the background. Note that this feature is best used on color-contaminated edges.2. Select a pixel layer that contains an object or subject → Select Remove Background.  Currently, Remove Background leaves a blue “halo” around the hair.Note: you can run Enhance Edge on any Layer Mask. Just select the Layer Mask in the Layers Panel and right-click the thumbnail to open the context menu. Select "Enhance edge"          3. On the Mask Contextual Task Bar, select "Enhance edge"  Results: A new “Enhance Edge” layer is created above the existing Remove Background layer. The Edge has been enhanced and the blue halo is now removed.  Known Limitations or Issues:The Internet is required to use Enhanced Edge. If you don't have an active internet connection, the Enhanced Edge will be disabled. Questions / Areas of Feedback Needed:Does Refine Edge decontaminate edges, such as hair and fur, with high-quality results? Email examples of failures to durocher@adobe.com.   Add Feedback by clicking on the "Beaker" icon in the top right of the Photoshop window.  Find "Enhance Edge" in the left panel, and provide YES, Enhance Edge is ready to be released to the non-Beta Photoshop (full) release or NO, Enhance Edge is not ready to be released to the Photoshop full release.

Firefly Generation Failed? Here's What Happens to Your Credits

Seeing "Something went wrong" or "Can't load" when a Firefly generation fails? You're probably wondering: did I just lose credits for that? Short answer: no — here's what actually happens to your credits when a generation fails, and what to do if they don't come back on their own.Example of a message you might see if a generation failsHow credits are supposed to work:Credits are deducted the moment you hit Generate — not after the image/video successfully renders. If the generation then fails (server error, timeout, content policy block, etc.), those credits are automatically returned to your balance. This isn't always instant, so give it a little time before assuming they're gone for good. Screenshot of where to find your generative credit count and credit reset date If your credits genuinely don't come back:Check your balance again after a short wait — refunds aren't always immediate. Note the details of the failed generation while they're fresh: Browser & OS version Which Firefly model you were using (Image, Video, Kling, etc.) Your exact prompt (or a screenshot of it) Whether you used a reference image Approximate time of the failure How many credits are missing Take a screenshot of the error message if you still have it. Create a new post in the Adobe Firefly community with all of the above so the support team can investigate general "this happened to me too" comments on other threads are harder to track than a dedicated post with details. "Thanks for reading. Happy creating, and see you in the next post!"

Brand Not Working in Adobe Express? Quick Troubleshooting Guide

Brand Not Working in Adobe Express? Quick Troubleshooting Guide

Have you run into issues where your Brand Kits, fonts, colors, or logos aren't working as expected in Adobe Express? You're not alone. To help you get back up and running quickly, we've put together a list of common symptoms and troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue before you reach out to support. Check the table below to find the scenario that best matches what you're experiencing and the recommended next steps. Issue What You May See Possible Cause  Recommended Fix Brand missing on iPad/Mobile Brand appears on desktop but not on iPad or mobile. May be related to syncing delays, app version differences, or mobile-specific issues. Sign out/in, verify if it works in the web app, and collect device model, OS, and app version if the issue persists. Brand Kits disappeared Brand Kits missing from Express but still visible in Creative Cloud Libraries. May be related to account/profile selection, browser issues, or Library sync delays. Verify the correct Adobe profile/team, try another browser, sign out/in, and test in a new project. "Failed to add library at this time" Library cannot be linked back to Express. Library linking or access issue between Adobe Express and Creative Cloud Libraries. Check network allowlisting and try moving the Library into an Express Project. Blank Brand Editor Opening a Brand shows a white screen with no fonts, colors, or logos. Browser rendering issue, loading failure, or service-related problem. Try another browser/incognito window and capture exact reproduction steps for investigation. Brand fonts disappear in AI-generated templates Fonts work in preview but become invisible after clicking Edit Template. Template rendering issue when transitioning from AI-generated preview to editable design. Test another AI-generated template, switch browsers, and verify network access. Fonts greyed out in Brand Library Fonts show as activated in Adobe Fonts but cannot be selected. Font permission or account entitlement restriction. Check if you're using an Education/Enterprise account and verify font permissions with your admin. Fonts/Text not loading Font panel shows a loading spinner indefinitely. Font service connectivity, browser cache, or network restrictions. Try another browser, clear cache/cookies, and verify network allowlisting. "Apply to all pages" disabled in video templates Option cannot be turned on. Expected behavior. Most video templates are treated as single-page documents. No action needed. The option is only available for multi-page documents. Brand assets loading slowly Brand logos, colors, fonts, or Library files take time to appear after being added or updated. May indicate a latency or synchronization delay rather than a user-side action issue. Refresh Adobe Express, sign out/in, try another browser, and check again after some time. If the issue continues, collect browser, device, OS, account type, and a screen recording. Brand images keep spinning or fail to load Logos or frequently used Brand images do not load and keep spinning, while other logos may load normally. Potential asset-specific loading or sync issue. Try another browser or incognito/private window, clear cache, and test on another network. If only one asset fails, re-upload that specific logo/image and test again. Brand / "Your Stuff" not loading Brand Kits, projects, or files may not load, or users may see a generic error experience. Could be related to a broader Adobe Express service issue. Check whether Adobe Express is currently experiencing a service issue. If the issue affects multiple users, collect timing, region, and screenshots. Network delay or connection-related loading issue Brand assets load inconsistently, pages take longer than expected, or content appears only after refresh/retry. Third-party network or service disruptions can cause intermittent loading and access issues. Test on another network, temporarily disable VPN/proxy if allowed, try another browser, and capture a HAR file if reproducible. Shared Brand not visible to recipient A Brand was shared, but the recipient cannot see it under Brands. Recipient may be signed in with a different Adobe profile/account or sharing may not have completed successfully. Confirm the recipient is using the correct Adobe profile. Re-share the Brand and verify they received the email or in-app notification. Incorrect permission on shared Brand Recipient can use the Brand but cannot edit it. Brand was shared with View & Use access instead of Edit access. Ask the Brand owner to update permissions to Can edit if editing privileges are required. Previously shared Brand needs to be re-shared Older shared Brands or migrated Brand assets are inaccessible. Previously shared Brands may require re-sharing after migration or updates. Re-share the Brand from Your Stuff > Brands > Invite people and verify the correct account/profile is being used. Brand Kit / Library link issue Library cannot be linked back to Adobe Express or Brand assets do not sync from Creative Cloud Libraries. Library connection or synchronization issue, sometimes related to latency. Confirm Library access, sign out/in, switch browsers, and allow time for synchronization. If unresolved, collect account information and repro steps. Enterprise or team access confusion Brand is visible for one teammate but not another, or access differs across accounts. Users may be signed into different organizations, profiles, or teams. Confirm the correct organization/profile/team. Collect account type, Brand name, sharer information, and the affected platform. Performance-related Brand loading issue Brand panel opens slowly, assets appear delayed, or Adobe Express becomes unresponsive while loading Brand content. General performance, browser resource usage, or backend responsiveness issues. Close unnecessary tabs/apps, try a supported browser, test with a simpler project, and collect console/HAR logs if the issue persists. Note- If the issue persists, please share your device details, browser version, Adobe account type (Personal, Teams, Education, or Enterprise), and a screen recording of the issue. This information will help the community and Adobe team investigate the problem more effectively.
