Summary

Google and Adobe announced plans to connect Acrobat and Adobe creative tools with Google services including Drive, Gmail, Gemini and Search. The announcement also covers an enterprise AI integration and exploratory Photoshop editing work with Google DeepMind.

Google and Adobe announced an expanded partnership on November 10, 2026, covering planned integrations between Adobe’s creative and productivity tools and Google apps. The announcement includes Acrobat access from Drive and Gmail, Adobe tools in Google’s AI experiences, and an enterprise assistant in Gemini Enterprise. Separately, the companies said they will explore image-editing capabilities for Photoshop with Google DeepMind.

Adobe tools across Google services

For files in Google Drive and Gmail, Google says Adobe Acrobat will soon appear as a suggested app, including an “Edit with” option in file previews. The announced pathway is intended to make PDF editing accessible from those services rather than requiring users to start by opening Acrobat themselves.

Adobe is also expanding its connectors in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise to include Acrobat and additional creative tools. Connectors provide a way for an AI service to interact with other apps and their tools. The announcement does not specify the full set of creative tools or describe how each connector will work. Adobe also plans to bring its creative tools to AI Mode in Google Search.

For business users, the companies plan to make Adobe’s CX Enterprise Coworker agent available in Gemini Enterprise. Google describes the agent as helping teams design graphics, work with PDFs and launch marketing campaigns. The stated aim is to let teams handle those tasks without switching between apps.

Enterprise use and Photoshop exploration

The partnership’s Photoshop work is at an earlier stage than the planned app integrations. Adobe and Google DeepMind said they will explore new editing capabilities for creative professionals, starting with an image model for Photoshop that could enable near-real-time edits. The announcement describes an area of exploration, not a finished feature or a confirmed release.

Taken together, the plans place Adobe tools at several points where users may already be working: file previews, Google’s AI products, Search and an enterprise assistant. If delivered as described, these entry points could reduce the need to move between applications for some creative and document tasks. The announcement gives no specific rollout dates for most of the integrations; Drive and Gmail access is described as coming soon.
