Box and Adobe Streamline Seamless, Secure Collaboration in the Cloud
04 October 2019 - 2:00AM
Business Wire
Box (NYSE:BOX) today announced plans with Adobe to deeply
integrate a full-featured Acrobat web experience, including
powerful capabilities to modify, organize, sign, and collaborate on
PDFs directly in Box. The new integration will seamlessly connect
collaborative workflows for enterprises who rely on Box and Adobe,
making it easier and more secure to work with digital documents in
the cloud.
“Businesses today need to securely collaborate across their
extended enterprise of employees, customers, and partners in every
part of their organization,” said Jeetu Patel, Chief Product
Officer at Box. “With our new integrations with Adobe Acrobat
tools, enterprises will be able to work fully in the cloud.
Mission-critical processes like reviewing, approving and
electronically signing contracts, or collaborating on confidential
product designs, will be simple and secure. No more version control
issues, no more downloading files to the desktop. Just simple,
secure, and powerful collaboration.”
“Adobe and Box share a vision to simplify and modernize how work
gets done, whether in the office or on the road,” said Ashley
Still, VP and GM of Digital Media, Adobe. “By integrating the power
of Adobe PDF and e-signature tools within Box, our joint customers
can seamlessly work with the billions of PDFs stored there, without
the need to open or switch apps.”
Since 2016, Box and Adobe have enabled users to quickly and
seamlessly access, edit, and complete PDF-centric tasks and
workflows, right within Box. The new Box and Adobe Acrobat
integration will enable users to seamlessly open PDF files from Box
directly in the Acrobat web viewer and access essential PDF and
e-signature tools so they can complete their workflows from
anywhere, on any device.
With the new integration, users will be able to take actions
directly from Box to:
- Create high-quality PDFs that preserve fonts,
formatting, and layouts;
- Modify and organize existing PDFs with the available
delete, reorder, and rotate capabilities;
- Combine multiple file types, including PDF, Microsoft
Office, image, text, and Adobe design into one that you can use for
archiving or distribution;
- Export PDFs into editable Microsoft Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, or RTF files that preserve fonts, formatting, and
layouts;
- Send a document for signature from the Box
Recommended Apps experience, a rich list of curated, contextual
applications surfaced for users whenever they preview a file in
Box;
- Capture e-signature activity in the Box Activity Stream,
a central place to view all the activity related to a file both on
Box and across all third-party applications.
All work done with Adobe Acrobat tools will be saved back to
Box, preserving versions and making it easy to share and
collaborate on the file and related workflows directly in the Box
experience.
Box and Adobe are committed to working closely on future
integrations with Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Sign for mobile and web
users to meet the needs of today’s rapidly evolving workforce.
Availability
The Box and Adobe integrations will be available next year.
