When speaking about their software, Adobe engineers often reference something called “Photoshop magic.” The idea refers to the underlying tech that powers its popular image-editing software and mobile apps.<\/p>\n
Now Adobe is bringing its “Photoshop magic” to two new mobile apps that have nothing to do with image editing: Acrobat Mobile and Fill and Sign, both of which help users create and edit PDFs on the go.<\/p>\n
Acrobat Mobile builds off Adobe’s longstanding desktop PDF offering, Acrobat. The new app, which is available for iOS, Android and Windows, lets users easily edit the text of PDFs from their device.<\/p>\n
It also streamlines PDF creation by allowing users to take a photo of a document with their phone and automatically turn it into a PDF.<\/p>\n
The latter feature is where that famed “Photoshop magic,” comes in says Lisa Croft, senior product marketing manager at Adobe.<\/p>\n
Since the apps use the same tech as Photoshop and other creative offerings, the app is able to automatically detect enhancements that need to be made and make adjustments to fine tune the image.<\/p>\n
“This is really the capability of taking the Acrobat tools you use on a regular basis and move them across your devices,” Croft said. “We really looked at every single tool and thought about a way to make it as easy as possible. We also looked at it from a touch standpoint in that all of the tools and apps across devices are fully touch-enabled.”<\/p>\n
