Acrobat Studio Pro

Microsoft Teams has become the go-to hub for workplace communication and collaboration. It’s great for meetings, chat, and file sharing. But when it comes to working inside documents, Teams often falls short—especially for PDFs. That’s where Adobe Acrobat Studio fills the gap.

Microsoft Teams: Strengths and Limitations

Strengths:

• Real-time communication with chat and video.

• AI Summarization – Turn lengthy reports into concise overviews.
