Google and Adobe expand partnership to link Acrobat, Gemini and Search

What's new

Google says it announced an expanded partnership with Adobe at Adobe MAX on Nov 10, 2026. According to Google, Drive and Gmail will get a direct pathway into Adobe Acrobat, shown as a suggested app. File previews will carry an "Edit with" option. Adobe is also widening the connectors it offers in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise, adding Acrobat and further creative tools, and will make its creative tools available in AI Mode in Google Search. Google says enterprise customers will be able to run Adobe's CX Enterprise Coworker agent inside Gemini Enterprise.

Why it matters

Google says the aim is to spare people the interruption of moving between apps for tasks like PDF edits or image adjustments. For Drive and Gmail users, that means a path to Acrobat from within those services. Gemini Enterprise customers are the stated audience for the Adobe agent, which Google describes as an AI assistant for teams that covers graphic design, PDF work and the launch of marketing campaigns. The text does not say how the integrations will work in practice.

Details

Google describes the features as "coming" and says users will "soon" have the Drive and Gmail pathway into Acrobat. Specific release dates, pricing, supported plans, regions and platforms were not announced. Google also says the partnership will bring its frontier AI models into Adobe's apps. Separately, Adobe and Google DeepMind plan to explore new editing capabilities for creative professionals. The first step Google names is an image model for Photoshop, which it says could enable near-real-time edits. No timing for that work was given.
