Best practiceFor sensitive documents, avoid submitting confidential information, as AI-powered features may process data outside your local device.
You can interact with the AI Assistant panel to quickly extract key information or clarify details from your PDF without reading the entire document.
This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
The main benefit of AI Assistant is saving a lot of time. It quickly finds and summarizes important information in long legal documents. This means you don't have to read every single word. It also provides source citations, so you can easily check the original text and trust the information you get, making your review process much faster and more reliable.
Yes, if you have many legal documents, AI Assistant can help. You can use 'PDF Spaces' to ask questions across up to 100 documents at one time. This means you can get insights from a large collection of files without opening each one separately, which is very useful for big projects.
It is important to check AI Assistant's source citations because it helps you confirm the information is correct and accurate. While AI Assistant is very helpful, it is a tool, not a human expert. For important legal decisions, you need to be sure. Checking the source links means you can see the exact words in the original document and verify the AI's summary, ensuring you make informed choices.
AI Assistant is much more powerful than simple keyword searching. Keyword searching only finds exact words. AI Assistant, however, understands the meaning of your questions and the document's content. It can summarize complex ideas, answer questions about relationships between different parts of a document, and give you key insights, even if you don't know the exact words to search for. It provides context and understanding, not just word matches.
