The Adobe Creative Cloud Connector by Aprimo is a native integration that links Aprimo Digital Asset Management (DAM) directly to industry-standard creative applications. It enables designers to search, browse, and place DAM assets without leaving Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator. Use of this connector streamlines production cycles by eliminating application switching and ensuring creative teams always use approved, up-to-date brand assets.

What it Does

The Adobe Creative Cloud Connector bridges the gap between creative production and asset management. By integrating Aprimo DAM directly into Adobe’s industry-standard creative tools, teams can eliminate the need to constantly switch between applications or manually download and upload files. This integration ensures that creatives are always working with the most up-to-date, approved versions of assets, maintaining brand consistency while accelerating the production lifecycle. The connector supports a unified workflow where file check-ins, check-outs, and versioning happen automatically within the Adobe interface.

How It Works

The integration operates via a native panel within Adobe Creative Cloud. After authenticating with Aprimo credentials, the connector establishes a secure API link to the DAM repository. Users can browse the asset hierarchy or search for specific files; checking out an asset triggers a local download and locks the asset in Aprimo. Once creative work is complete, the ‘Check-In’ command uploads the modified file back to the DAM, increments the version number, and synchronizes any metadata or comments updated during the session.

The connector provides a dedicated panel inside Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator where you can browse and search your Aprimo library. Once found, assets can be placed or opened for editing directly into your current project.

Yes, once you complete your edits and check the file back in, the connector automatically creates a new version in Aprimo DAM, preserving the original file history.
 
Which Adobe Creative Cloud applications are supported?

Can I see DAM-based feedback while working in Adobe?
