AI Assistant in Adobe Acrobat & Reader not showing on desktop version

[athina_vn]

Hello, I have the new Adobe Acrobat but I cannot see the AI Assistant in Adobe Acrobat & Reader on the Desktop version only on the web version. How can I enable it to desktop version too?

Thanks

Hi @athina_vn 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

The generative AI features in Acrobat and Acrobat Reader are turned on by default. Would you mind sharing the version of the Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 24.01.20604 installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

If it still doesn't work, please remove the application using the Acrobat cleaner tool https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html , reboot the computer and reinstall the application using the direct link https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html and check.

Let us know how it goes.

I have the same issue even though I have just uninstalled and re-installed Adobe Acrobat, I have the version 2024.002.20736

I have done everything too and nothing worked. I have written my system admin and let's see what they say but this is quite annoying.

[james_8694]

[Cleo Müller]

Thank you, this helped and worked for me!

My application is in German. Then I changed it into English. Quit and restarted the application. Opened a document: AI Assistant magically appeared. I changed the language back to German, still works. Thank you!

Not Working for me, I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro and tried the solution priveded in this discussion, neither is working.
I also don't have the setting "Generative AI" under preferences.

[Michael25487758qf2p]

Same here, Version 20687, no effect after language change.
NFR Version EU.

[farzaneh_6000]

same here; based in US. acrobat Pro 2025; reinstall, and setting language to US didnt help. so frustrating!!

[defaultz1ll8rqlesmt]

Hi, 

Having the same issue, creative cloud user with the latest Acrobat Pro installed. The solution about changing language doesn't work for me, as 'choose at application start' is not an option (see image). Not sure how to acces the AI feature then
