FAQ

about this task
  1. Open your PDF in Acrobat.
  2. Click the 'AI Assistant' button.
  3. Choose 'Generate AI summaries'.
  4. Review the generated outline and key insights.

AI Assistant quickly gives you an outline and key insights from a document, saving you time. It also provides clickable source links so you can check its work. Reading it yourself means you find all the information, but it takes much longer, especially for big documents. AI Assistant helps you find important parts fast.

  • It saves you time by quickly finding main points.
  • It creates an outline and key insights for easy understanding.
  • It gives you source citations, so you can check the information.
  • It helps you get insights across many documents, not just one.

No, you should not rely only on AI Assistant for complex legal or technical decisions. The AI Assistant helps you understand and summarize information, but it does not make decisions. It's a tool to surface and summarize, not to decide. Always use your own human judgment and, if needed, consult with an expert for critical legal matters. The AI Assistant helps you find information, but the final decision is yours.

PDF Spaces is a feature that lets you ask questions across many documents at once, up to 100 PDFs, Office files, notes, transcripts, or web links. AI Assistant, on the other hand, usually focuses on one document to summarize it or answer questions from it. While both use AI, PDF Spaces is for getting insights from a large collection of files, while AI Assistant is for deep understanding of individual documents.
