Digital transformation has quickly become a strategic imperative
in almost every industry, requiring organizations to transform
their business processes and reimagine how they connect with
customers, partners and employees. More and more, this means
managing massive amounts of content and digital files that are home
to mission-critical data and intellectual property. With more than
two billion PDFs alone in Box today, these new integrations from
Adobe and Box will help enterprises across the globe organize,
manage and collaborate on their most valuable content.
“Organizations worldwide rely on Adobe Document Cloud and Adobe
Sign to bring speed and efficiency to processes involving digital
documents,” said Bryan Lamkin, executive vice president and general
manager, Digital Media at Adobe. “Our mission is to simplify and
modernize those processes for businesses and people wherever and
however they work. Our collaboration with Box will help advance
this cause, whether it’s reviewing a new employee benefits handbook
with HR stakeholders, sharing the latest creative mockup with your
global ad agency, or sending a sales contract for signature by the
CEO.”
“Box is incredibly excited to bring new value to our customers
by connecting our rich collaboration platform and enterprise-grade
security with Adobe Document Cloud,” said Aaron Levie, cofounder
& CEO, Box. “We are focused on building a powerful centralized
platform that secures and connects the content that people use
everyday to get their jobs done. With more than six billion digital
and electronic signature transactions a year in Adobe Document
Cloud and Adobe Sign, today’s news is a critical step in helping
customers effortlessly share, access and securely manage their
information.”
The new integration will enable Adobe and Box users to:
- Quickly access and save files from
Adobe apps. Users will be able to open and complete essential
tasks on PDF files in Box using Adobe Acrobat DC and the free
Acrobat Reader. Annotations and edits will be saved back to Box in
real-time, ensuring the latest version of the document is always
accessible and avoiding version control issues. Additionally, users
will have the option to select Box as their preferred cloud
provider from the iOS document picker within Acrobat Reader mobile
on iPhone and iPad, making the process just as seamless when
working on the go.
- Edit PDFs directly from Box.
When working in Box and previewing a PDF file, with just a few
clicks users will be able to open documents directly in Acrobat DC
and make edits that are automatically updated in Box. With the
integration, businesses will be able to seamlessly leverage Acrobat
to work with PDFs, while benefiting from Box’s robust collaboration
features, as well as its world-class security and control
capabilities.
- Speed business with
e-signatures. Users will be able to open Box files directly in
Adobe Sign to provide an electronic signature on important
contracts and paperwork. The feature will eliminate the hassle of
file downloads, transfers and duplication of content by
centralizing all updates in Box and will make it easier than ever
to circulate content to the right people. This builds on an
existing integration between Adobe Sign and Box, which enables
users to select files for e-signature from their Box account via
the Adobe Sign web service.
At the heart of Adobe Document Cloud is Adobe Acrobat DC, the
world’s best PDF solution; Adobe Sign, the leading e-signature
solution that allows anyone to electronically sign and send
documents from any device; and powerful companion mobile apps.
Acrobat, together with Acrobat Reader, is one of the most widely
distributed pieces of software, used on over a billion desktops and
mobile devices worldwide.
Availability
The ability to add a Box account to Acrobat DC and Acrobat
Reader on desktop is expected by the end of May 2016. The ability
for Acrobat Reader mobile users on iPhone and iPad to select Box as
their preferred cloud service from the iOS document picker is
expected by the end of June 2016. Initial access to Acrobat DC and
Adobe Sign from the Box website is expected by the end of May 2016,
with deeper integration expected by fall 2016.
