Adobe and Google expand partnership, bringing Acrobat to Drive and Gmail

Adobe and Google announced on Monday, November 10, 2026, at Adobe MAX in Miami Beach, an expanded strategic partnership between the two companies. The deal brings Adobe's creative and productivity tools into Google products and Google's AI models into Adobe apps. Acrobat is the immediate highlight, arriving in Google Drive and Gmail.

Acrobat inside Drive and Gmail

Adobe Acrobat will be suggested directly in Google Drive and Gmail, with an “Edit with” entry point in file previews. In practice, users will be able to open and edit a PDF without leaving Google email or cloud storage.

Adobe tools in Gemini and AI Mode in Search

Adobe will expand its connectors in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise with Acrobat and additional creative tools, and bring its creative tools to AI Mode in Google Search. Businesses will also be able to use Adobe's CX Enterprise Coworker agent inside Gemini Enterprise: an AI assistant that helps teams design graphics, work with PDFs and launch marketing campaigns without switching apps.

Google models in Adobe apps

In the other direction, Google's latest image and video models are coming to Adobe Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere and Adobe Express, and the Gemini family of models will power AI features in Acrobat — such as conversational PDF editing and understanding document content. Adobe struck another AI alliance this month: with Disney, to train Firefly models on its characters — read Geekiki's story on the Disney and Adobe alliance.

Photoshop and DeepMind: a project in exploration

Adobe and Google DeepMind will collaborate on new AI-powered image editing features, starting with Photoshop. The work is still exploratory: the idea is an image model that could enable near-real-time edits. There is no announced date or concrete feature — it is a research direction, not a launch.

What has not been disclosed yet

The companies did not announce launch dates or prices for the new integrations. Most features were described as coming “soon”, and the DeepMind work was presented as a joint exploration. The partnership builds on an Adobe–Google Cloud agreement announced at Adobe MAX in October 2025.
