New Acrobat GenAI Assistant brings contract clarity for all

Contracts are essential for both individuals and organizations, covering vendor agreements, credit card terms, loyalty programs, and purchase orders. However, most contracts are long and complex, making them difficult and time-consuming to understand.

A recent Adobe Acrobat survey found that over 70% of consumers have signed contracts or agreements without fully understanding them, and 64% of small and medium business owners have avoided signing contracts due to uncertainty about the terms, reports Adobe on a press release.

To address this issue, Adobe has introduced new contract intelligence features in Acrobat AI Assistant. These generative AI-powered tools help users comprehend intricate terms, compare different versions, and ensure transparency in agreements.
