Productivity gains without sacrificing security.

Given the speed of business today, it’s critical to tap into the right data. At the same time, organizations need access to the latest AI technologies to glean critical insights that advance business goals. For those in the finance domain, the challenge is capitalizing on productivity gains without ushering in misinformation or unintended security and compliance risks.

Empowered by Adobe Acrobat Studio, a modern AI-infused productivity platform, finance teams can work smarter and faster. The solution allows them to focus on more strategic endeavors and tap into knowledge and information resources that are often inaccessible or hidden away in data and system silos.

Gartner estimates that over 80% of business data is unstructured and rarely analyzed because it’s trapped in documents that are not widely circulated across the business. Yet, those resources are essential for finance teams looking for a more effective way to monitor, control, and report on financial assets and results while remaining in compliance.

Acrobat Studio, the latest offering in the Adobe PDF ecosystem, brings together a collaborative knowledge workspace, AI-enabled productivity tools, and content creation capabilities with security and compliance controls that help safeguard business data and workflows.

With more than 3 trillion files in active circulation worldwide, PDF documents remain a target for cyberattacks, especially with the rise of AI. According to the IBM and Ponemon Institute’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025, 97% of organizations flagged an AI-related security incident in 2025 because of lack of proper AI access controls. Moreover, 82% of security professionals say leakage of sensitive data remains a top concern.

Within a unified platform, Acrobat Studio promises to change the way finance professionals go about their daily tasks. The solution delivers familiar PDF and e-signature capabilities, embedded AI Assistant productivity enhancements, and new PDF Spaces for enhanced collaboration and knowledge sharing. Combined with the ability to unlock deeper insights from siloed data, these conversational knowledge hubs can accelerate decision-making, improve communications, and shift concentration to higher-impact work.

Acrobat Studio also includes Adobe Express Premium, which empowers finance teams to easily create compelling, clear content on their own. For example, with Adobe Express Premium, finance professionals can communicate financial information to internal and external stakeholders using more visual and impactful presentations, reports, and proposals.

A secure-by-design productivity approach.

Acrobat Studio is built on Acrobat, which has a multilayer security approach designed specifically to address today’s security challenges. Because critical document, content creation, and AI capabilities are combined in a single platform, finance and procurement users don’t have to jump between different tools to complete a task, which helps deter common cybersecurity and compliance risks. The platform’s robust security architecture includes:

Application security: Acrobat sandbox protection capabilities run apps in a highly controlled Protected Mode or Protected View, restricting access to machine resources. This approach ensures potentially malicious PDFs have no file system access or permissions to unleash attacks, leak critical information, or facilitate credential and IP theft.

Comprehensive protection: Acrobat harnesses the full power of encryption, data loss prevention, data access governance, and management capabilities to safeguard business documents and financial assets. Sandboxing and encrypted email protection help maintain compliance in the face of an evolving regulatory landscape.

Trusted AI: Acrobat AI Assistant and PDF Spaces do not train on customer data — they focus on analysis and suggestions for documents at the user’s request, helping avoid misinformation or hallucinations in AI-powered outputs. They also provide built-in citations that take users to the exact sentence in the document where the information was sourced from. In a January 2025 analysis, Forrester found that AI Assistant improves the efficiency of document summarization and analysis by 45%. This improvement can lead to more confident decision-making.

Centralized management: Single sign-on (SSO) enforced authentication, dedicated key encryption, and administrator controls for AI Assistant provide the highest levels of enterprise-grade protection and central management for document ecosystems.

The bottom line.

Finance teams are under pressure to make quick, insightful decisions that advance key business goals. Acrobat Studio delivers a more secure, AI-powered productivity boost that steers the business toward more efficient operations and profitable growth.
