WhatsApp Partners with Adobe Acrobat: Open and Edit PDF Files Directly Within Chats

A new feature has arrived on WhatsApp. It allows you to open and edit PDF files directly within your WhatsApp chats, eliminating the need to download the file first.

Adobe Acrobat has now been integrated into WhatsApp. Thanks to this integration, users no longer need to download PDF files to their devices to read or edit them; they can simply open and edit PDFs right inside WhatsApp. It is important to note that this feature has been released for WhatsApp Web and Windows apps. You can now access PDF files directly within the WhatsApp chat window. Previously, receiving a PDF on WhatsApp required you to leave the app and switch to another one to open the file. Let’s look at the details.

Adobe Acrobat Integration into WhatsApp Web

WhatsApp has announced several new features in its latest blog post, including an upgrade for PDF handling. According to the post, you can now open PDF files directly on WhatsApp without needing to download them.

You can scroll and zoom in on the file after opening it. Furthermore, you can perform light edits—such as highlighting text—directly within the file. For broader editing needs, you will have access to tools like Draw, Highlight, Underline, Strikethrough, and "Edit in Acrobat."

This feature is powered by the integration of Adobe Acrobat, Adobe's PDF software used for viewing, creating, editing, and converting files. It will be available on WhatsApp Web.

The company states that the Adobe Acrobat integration on WhatsApp Web will be particularly helpful for small business owners, as their customers will be able to view PDFs on the larger screen of WhatsApp Web.

This new feature also promises to be excellent in terms of security. The company has stated that Acrobat documents will remain secure due to password protection. Additionally, this integration ensures that documents benefit from WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption.
