Enhancing efficiency & security in higher education with Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming higher education, reshaping how institutions manage information, collaborate, and deliver learning. Recent studies by Pfeiffer Consulting, show that more than 70% of educators and two-thirds of students are already using AI tools, while nearly half of education leaders are integrating them into daily operations to improve efficiency and streamline administrative tasks.

In this context, Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant represents a practical and secure way to integrate AI into everyday academic and administrative workflows. And thanks to the partnership between Academic Software and Adobe, institutions can access these innovations in a responsible, scalable, and affordable way.

The strengths of a responsible AI in education

Among its key benefits: 

• Automating administrative tasks, allowing staff to dedicate more time to research and teaching.

• Personalizing learning, adapting to each student’s needs and improving engagement.

• Adapting across disciplines, from business and law to science, engineering, and languages, while maintaining data security and confidentiality.

With Acrobat AI Assistant, data always remains the property of the institution. It is never used to train large language models and is automatically cleared after 12 hours, ensuring that confidential information stays secure.

Supporting different stakeholders

• Leaderships can simplify document management and accelerate report production, allowing more energy to be devoted to educational strategy.
• IT can integrate the AI Assistant seamlessly within Acrobat without disrupting existing systems; data is encrypted and automatically deleted after 12 hours to enhance protection.

• Educators and teaching assistants can summarize research papers, compile lecture notes, and prepare materials faster, allowing more time for interaction and innovation in the classroom.

• Administrative staff can automatically generate meeting notes, search within long documents, and retrieve key data points in seconds, a major improvement when institutions typically spend up to eight hours per week just looking for information.

• Students benefit from AI-generated study guides, simplified explanations of complex topics, and interactive document chats that help them better understand material

A solution adapted to all disciplines

The technology applies to a wide range of academic contexts. Business schools can use it to summarize reports and analyze case studies; science departments benefit from secure management of research data and findings; engineering schools can organize and navigate technical project documentation more efficiently; law faculties can compare legal texts and case law with ease; and language and literature departments can analyze themes and synthesize complex texts.

The partnership between Academic Software and Adobe

Together, Academic Software and Adobe help institutions take the next step toward a more efficient, secure, and human-centered digital campus. It enables universities and colleges to benefit from secure, scalable solutions that are simple to deploy and aligned with their educational missions.
