In September 2026, Adobe announced it will expand the capabilities of the Adobe Connector for Google Gemini and the Adobe plugin for Claude. This framework allows the AI chat to serve not only as a text generation tool but also as an entry point for performing actual creative and editing tasks.

With the Adobe Connector for Gemini, tools such as Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Express, and Adobe Firefly will become available. By providing instructions in natural language, users can perform tasks such as adjusting colors and lighting in images, cropping, and applying consistent finishes to multiple photos. This feature is available across all plans and requires signing in with an Adobe account.
For Claude, Adobe will provide a plugin that integrates Acrobat into its creative toolset. This will allow users to call upon more than 80 different tools, including Illustrator, Premiere, InDesign, Acrobat, Express, and Photoshop, directly from the Claude chat interface.
Acrobat's functionality includes deleting, merging, and splitting PDF pages, redacting sensitive information, and converting file formats, as well as interactive editor operations such as rearranging pages, editing text, and adding comments. Additionally, users can directly add the results of Claude's document analysis as annotations into the PDF editor.
The plugin for Claude will be available on desktop, mobile, web, and via Claude Code. By signing in with an Adobe account, users can lift certain functional restrictions, such as accessing additional tools and continuing work across different sessions.
