- Adobe Acrobat and Express coming soon to the Microsoft 365 Agent Store
- Users can make changes to files without opening Adobe software
- Plugins make creativity more accessible
Adobe has confirmed that it will integrate Express and Acrobat with Microsoft 365 Copilot, putting its powerful productivity tools in the hands of more workers.
The integration means users won’t need to open the respective apps to make some of the most common edits, reducing some of the barriers associated with Adobe’s software, which is often seen as having a steep learning curve.
“The apps will be available in the Microsoft 365 Agent Store in the coming weeks,” said Govind Balakrishnan, senior vice president and general manager of Adobe Express, in a post on LinkedIn.

Adobe Express and Acrobat come to M365 Copilot Chat
In Copilot, users will be able to browse Adobe Express design templates, adjust text and copy it, swap or generate images with AI, add animations and movements, and much more. Although Copilot initially serves as a simplified interface, the files will also exist in the Express app if users want to go ahead and make deeper changes.
On the Acrobat side, users will be able to create, organize and edit PDFs from the chat interface.
More broadly, Adobe has leveraged AI in two ways: The company has integrated generative tools into its own apps to make advanced editing more accessible, but it has also integrated its own apps with third-party AI ecosystems to meet users where they already are.
Balakrishnan said the move was part of Adobe’s plan to “[make] creativity more accessible to all.
A previous integration brought Acrobat, Express and Photoshop to ChatGPT, for example.
Although tools like ChatGPT and M365 Copilot have been able to generate image versions of user prompts, they haven’t always been as easy to refine without other AI prompts. The addition of Express and Acrobat allows the AI to generate a human-editable file format from the start.
