Adobe Acrobat Sign includes a built-in AI chatbot that helps account administrators and signers with questions about how to use the e-signature platform — answering in plain language and linking to official help articles. Account administrators must enable it in Global Settings before it becomes available to users.
Details
The Smart Assistant is trained exclusively on official Adobe content and does not use customer personally identifiable information for training. It understands natural language questions such as "How do I set up two-factor authentication?" and provides step-by-step guidance. Adobe's documentation describes it as a self-service tool designed to reduce support ticket volume. It is separate from Adobe's main customer support chatbot and specific to the Acrobat Sign product.

Other practices by Adobe
OtherIn June 2024, Adobe pushed updated Terms of Use to all Creative Cloud users that required mandatory acceptance before they could continue using their software. The language alarmed many users and creative professionals who believed Adobe was claiming the right to use their personal work to train AI models. Adobe published clarifications and then released fully revised terms later that month.OtherAdobe InDesign version 21.2, released in January 2026, added an AI feature that automatically generates alt text — written descriptions of images used by screen readers to assist people who are blind or have low vision. The feature is on by default and has received mixed reactions from users about its accuracy.OtherAdobe has maintained a formal set of AI ethics principles since 2019, built around three pillars: Accountability, Responsibility, and Transparency. Every product team developing an AI feature must complete an internal AI Ethics Impact Assessment before launch. Adobe updated these principles in October 2024.
