| 0:00.0 | Adobe Acrobat Studio so brand new. |
| 0:02.0 | Show me all the things that PDFs can do. Do your work with ease and speed. PDF spaces is all you need. Do hours of research in an instant. Key insights from an AI assistant. Pick a template with a click. Now your Prezo looks super slick. Close that deal. Yeah, you won. Do that, doing that, did that done. Now you can do that, do that with Acrobat. Acrobat, now you can't do that, do that, doing that, did that done. Now you can do that, do that with acrobat. Now you can do |
| 0:23.6 | that, do that with the all new acrobat. It's time to do your best work with your all-new Adobe Acrobat |
| 0:29.6 | Studio. Sean has had some good ideas over the years, but using Canva was a really good one. Sean designed some social |
| 0:39.8 | posts to promote his friend's car boot sale. They looked good. Really, really good. |
| 0:48.6 | Next thing he knows, someone came and bought the lot, including the car. Now Sean doesn't know I was going to get home. |
| 0:58.1 | Thanks, Canva. |
| 1:02.4 | It's the summer of 1997 and I've just finished a shift at the restaurant. I run home to smoke some really bad weed out of my beautiful three and a half foot graphics glass bomb. |
| 1:13.6 | When I'm firmly in my own universe, I go to the kitchen to prepare my sacrament, donuts, and a family-sized bag of laced potato chips, |
| 1:21.6 | because you know, salty and sweet is a stoner's best treat. |
| 1:25.6 | I run upstairs to flip on my 24-inch RCA color TV. |
| 1:31.8 | In a pre-DVR universe, late-night basic cable was about as entertaining as it got. |

I saw her for the very first time. This woman. Who asked you to go out of town? The stupid young one or the married one? The married one. That's what I thought. Don't go, you hear me? Talking to dead people in a fake Jamaican accent. Michael, you really got yourself into trouble on that one, Frederick. Her name was Miss Cleo. She wasn't the first TV psychic, but she's one of the most notorious. The company she worked for, PRN, they made millions and millions of dollars using the image |
