State of AI in Documents: How AI-mature Organisations Turn Adoption into Measurable Results

New Adobe research on what separates high-performing teams, from adoption and trust to governance and productivity, across the document lifecycle.

AI has moved past experimentation across the enterprise. Nearly all organisations (93%) report positive returns and employees save an average of 15 hours a week. The real advantage now comes from how effectively teams operationalise AI across their document work.

Drawing on anonymised Acrobat data and a survey of roughly 800 senior leaders across HR, legal and sales, you'll learn:

- How high performers turn similar time savings into stronger productivity and business outcomes

- Where AI adoption, trust and document workflows differ across HR, legal and sales

- Why governance, leadership support and measurement separate AI-mature organisations from the rest

Benchmark your own AI maturity, close the gap between adoption and impact and build the document workflows where AI delivers lasting business value.
