Ever feel like you’re drowning in information? From lengthy reports and pitches to complex contracts, modern work can feel overwhelming.
This isn’t just time-consuming – it also pulls our focus from the high-impact, creative tasks where we add the most value.
But what if you could free yourself from all this drudgery and unlock more time and brain space for the stuff that really matters, transforming your productivity in the process?
Strategist and business influencer Lauren Spearman has found the answer: a super smart tool called Acrobat Studio from Adobe.
Here’s how it’s making all the difference…
PDFs made modern
Lauren is well known for her honest, relatable TikTok and LinkedIn posts where she takes on outdated ideas about work.
So it’s no surprise she’s embraced the future and uses Acrobat Studio to coordinate the production team behind her new YouTube show, Careering.
While PDFs date back to 1993, it’s time to ditch everything you thought you knew about them, because Acrobat Studio does something entirely new…
Forget static documents, they’re now more like smart digital workspaces where creatives and entrepreneurs like Lauren can share knowledge, obtain AI-powered insights and create stunning content all in one place.
So what does it do?
When you look under the Acrobat Studio bonnet, you’ll find a lot going on…
First off, there’s Acrobat Pro – home of all your essential PDF tools that let you easily edit, create, e-sign and redact documents.
This time though, it comes with an AI assistant for instantly summarising long contracts, client reports, and research. Think of it like being able to ‘chat with your docs’ to extract key insights and action points in seconds.
Next up is PDF Spaces, a single, secure, AI-powered hub where you can keep all your project materials, including PDFs, Word docs, links and notes.
And finally, you also get Adobe Express Premium, which lets you effortlessly transform documents into branded social assets, lookbooks, or presentations using fast-start templates – without having to switch platforms.
Why Lauren loves Acrobat Studio
After an 18-year marketing career, Lauren is now self-employed – dividing her time between working as a brand consultant and producing careers-focused content for social media.
In other words, she’s got a lot to do, making it essential for her to work as efficiently, and effectively, as possible.
One way she does this is by cutting out admin so she can focus on the creative tasks she does best.
By organising her YouTube show through Acrobat Studio, she’s able to work faster and (crucially!) smarter.
Rather than juggling multiple applications, she can now collaborate with her team in one place. Acrobat Studio and Express have become integral to her process, from reviewing client briefs and annotating creative assets to rapidly prototyping and delivering polished campaigns.
‘My production company, my virtual assistant and I all work together in one space, bringing scripts, pitch decks, guest research and invites into a single, organised workflow,’ she says.
Lauren makes use of all the various features of Adobe Acrobat Studio, including creating promotional content for her shows on Adobe Express, using them to foster collaboration and agility, enabling her team to consistently deliver on-brand, impactful experiences in a fast-paced industry.
Meanwhile, she uses the AI Assistant to cut out boring tasks, allowing her to focus on the fun stuff.
‘I use Adobe Express alongside it to quickly create social cut downs from each episode, pulling out the moments that matter,’ she says.
‘The AI Assistant helps us jump to the right moments, pull summaries and stay on top of the details, turning what could have been an overwhelming process into a collaborative, joyful and efficient way of working.’
It helped Lauren, here’s how it can help you
You might not have your own YouTube following like Lauren, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of ways you can use Acrobat Studio to get more out of your work.
It’s a great option for any other creatives, entrepreneurs, small business owners and busy professionals… Well, anyone looking to save time on admin and focus on high-value work!
With AI summaries and insights, you can save hours on research and admin. Insights come with transparent, clickable citations and you can be confident your data is secure and will never be used to train Adobe’s AI models.
And thanks to PDF Spaces, you get your own digital project war room where you can create, organise complex projects and files into one easy-to-share hub.
The ability to create professional, branded visuals and content directly from your documents is another obvious plus for creatives looking to produce great content at a faster rate.
Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Admin slashed and made simpler – leaving more time to focus on what matters…
So when are you going to give it a go?
