New! Adobe Acrobat Student Spaces (Beta)
Student Spaces is an AI-powered study hub in Adobe Acrobat that helps students, organise and understand their materials. They can upload files, ask questions and create study tools without jumping between apps or tabs.
This free tool, now in beta, provides AI-generated study guides, flashcards, quizzes, and 24/7 tutoring. Access Student Spaces in Acrobat on the web from any mobile or desktop browser.
Graduating students can access their Adobe projects in just a few clicks.
It's easy for graduating students to copy their Adobe files from school assigned accounts to new or existing Adobe personal accounts. With the Student File Transfer feature, they'll get ongoing access to their work so they can showcase it to future employers.
