Google and Adobe Expand Partnership to Link Workspace with Acrobat and Gemini

The deal aims to cut app switching by adding an 'Edit with' pathway from Gmail and Drive into Acrobat while letting Google’s Gemini models plug into Adobe’s creative and document tools.

Overview

  • Google and Adobe announced the expansion at Adobe MAX on Tuesday, Nov. 10, confirming a multi‑year deepening of their cloud and creative collaboration.
  • The companies will add an 'Edit with' suggestion in Gmail and Google Drive that points users into Adobe Acrobat as a quick transfer pathway rather than native Acrobat editing inside Drive at launch.
  • Gemini and Gemini Enterprise will gain connectors to Adobe tools and Adobe will surface its connectors inside Google AI interfaces such as AI Mode in Search to support conversational document tasks.
  • Adobe’s CX Enterprise 'Coworker' agent will be available inside Gemini Enterprise to help teams design assets, manage PDFs, and run campaigns from conversational AI workflows.
  • Google DeepMind and Adobe are jointly developing new image‑editing models for Photoshop that could enable near‑real‑time edits but the companies have not given a timeline, and the Drive/Gmail pathway is expected to roll out before broader Gemini features.
