The Document Cloud design team has a long and rich legacy while still being recognized for innovation year after year. We were recognized for TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026 with our work in Liquid Mode. And that legacy of visionary experiences continues with Acrobat's AI Assistant being named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2026.
