Adobe adds PDF integration to Office 365
Adobe is embedding PDF functionality deep within Office365 with editing and conversion functions now available directly from the ribbon in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint online.
All Office 365 users with Acrobat DC subscription for Teams or an Enterprise license will see the PDF tools in their ribbon interface.
SharePoint Online will also offer a menu option to “combine files in acrobat” meaning no need to download documents, merge and upload.
OneDrive and SharePoint can also now show rich versions of PDFs and convert PDFs into Word, Excel, PowerPoint or RTF files to be edited.
“Adobe and Microsoft are integrating best-in-class cloud services to meet the needs of today's agile and rapidly evolving workforce," Ashley Still, Vice President and General Manager, Digital Media, Adobe, said in a statement.
Separately, Adobe is also making improvements to Adobe Sign which will offer deeper integration with Microsoft Dynamics365.
A new dedicated Adobe Sign Azure data centre is also being launched in the US, with other regions to follow
Adobe Sign will also now be able to access information from LinkedIn Sales Navigator to help cut down on contracting errors.
Lastly, the Adobe Scan app is getting the ability to process information from business cards and add it to your contacts using Adobe Sensei, Adobe's Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning platform.
