Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) and Dropbox Inc. today announced a
partnership to enable people and organizations greater flexibility
to work the way they want with documents at home, in the office or
on-the-go. The market-leading companies are integrating their
applications and services on mobile devices, desktop, and the web
for faster and more seamless access to all of the mission-critical
content stored as PDF files.

With this partnership, customers of Adobe Acrobat DC and Adobe
Acrobat Reader—used on over one billion mobile devices and desktop
computers worldwide—can access and take common actions on over 18
billion PDF files stored in Dropbox directly from within the Adobe
apps. Dropbox users can open, edit, and save changes to PDF
documents in the Adobe apps directly from the Dropbox website, iOS
app, or Android app. The integration addresses a strong need, as
PDF is the most common business file type in Dropbox.
“As the inventor of PDF, Adobe brings over 20 years of
experience with secure digital documents,” said Kevin M. Lynch,
senior vice president and general manager of Adobe Document Cloud
at Adobe. “The requirements of our customers have constantly
evolved over time; today, mobile has become the rule and people
expect to complete work quickly and simply wherever and whenever
they need. Our work with Dropbox, as our first file sync and share
partner, will help Adobe Document Cloud customers and people around
the world be more productive with the documents at the center of
their daily lives.”
“At Dropbox, our goal is to simplify the way people work
together,” said Dennis Woodside, Chief Operating Officer at
Dropbox. “We provide the world’s simplest, most powerful
collaboration platform for the creative and entrepreneurial lives
of our 400 million users. They want to edit PDF files on-the-go,
gather feedback from their team—even collect signatures for a
contract—on any device. Partnering with Adobe helps our users work
better together.”
The new integration will help users of Adobe and Dropbox
products to:
- Access and share files quickly.
With a few simple taps or clicks in the free Acrobat Reader mobile
app or Acrobat DC on desktop, users can view and take additional
actions on PDF files stored in their Dropbox Basic, Pro and Dropbox
for Business accounts. Any changes are automatically saved back to
Dropbox. Once completed, it’s simple to share the updated file
using a Dropbox link or shared folder.
- Edit and collaborate more
simply. Users can open a PDF file from the Dropbox website,
iPhone or iPad app, and edit with Acrobat DC on desktop or Acrobat
Reader mobile while on-the-go. With the Adobe apps, anyone can
highlight, annotate or add comments to the document. Acrobat DC
users can also complete a full range of tasks on the PDF files,
including editing text, organizing pages, or converting the
documents to their original format. The new version of the file can
then be shared with colleagues or friends directly from Dropbox to
collaborate further. These capabilities build on existing
integration between Adobe eSign services and Dropbox, which enables
users to access, track and sign PDF files stored in Dropbox.
- Sync documents everywhere.
Ensure PDF files, and the changes you make to them in Adobe apps,
are always synced in Dropbox, whether you’re on a mobile device,
the web, or in front of a computer.
Availability
Starting today, users worldwide can add their Dropbox account in
Acrobat DC or Acrobat Reader on desktop. The iOS integrations
between Acrobat Reader and Dropbox will be available in the coming
months, with Android and web integrations to follow in 2016.
