Draft an off-camera Meta ad storyboard from approved source material
Get the source data and prepare the review

Documentation-verified Adobe drafting route with manual creative-brief preparation; Meta placement-spec gate remains explicit

WHAT WAS CHECKED
Public official product documentation only. No product login, account write, real client data, installation, or live workflow test. Prompts and schemas are proposed editorial adaptations; vendor documentation verifies component features, not these end-to-end recipes. Native exports retain their real headers; kit schemas require the explicit mapping steps below.

BEFORE YOU START
- Existing firm-approved Acrobat AI Assistant/PDF Spaces entitlement: Acrobat Studio, AI Assistant add-on, or another plan including AI features, with online services/cloud storage allowed. Desktop/web region and language availability apply. Verify with the administrator; no purchase or configuration change is part of this recipe.
- An attorney-approved educational message, public firm details, approved CTA and exact jurisdiction-specific disclosures.
- Asset owner supplies licensed/authorized asset IDs and allowed uses; no client story, synthetic client or voice clone is needed.
- Marketer chooses intended placement and records its current official format/safe-area specifications before production.
- Public approved facts and licensed assets only. Do not include actual client stories, identities, representation details or sensitive legal circumstances.

DATA ACQUISITION LIMITS
- No native Meta AI query that retrieves the firm’s approved facts, legal disclosures or asset rights was verified. The drafting tool in this path is Acrobat AI Assistant.
- Meta’s general Ads Guide redirected to login during public research. Exact live carousel sizes and placement safe areas were not personally verified; leave the draft layout-blocked unless the marketer supplies the current official specification.
- The result is a text storyboard, not rendered media, campaign creation, publication or a compliance approval.

STEP 1: Collect a small approved creative brief
Tool: Existing firm source documents, Meta official guidance and a text editor
Open: Public firm pages / approved marketing document; official Meta Reels resource and Ads Guide
Access needed: See recipe prerequisites; exact firm subscription and account permissions not tested.

Copy only attorney-approved factual statements into approved_facts.txt and give them F1-style IDs. Record firm name/location/services, exact CTA, duration/slide count and no-face/no-voice constraints. Copy exact required disclosure text with its approval date. Have the asset owner fill assets.csv with asset_id, description, license/permission and allowed use from the actual asset/license records.

Expected output: Approved facts and asset inventory plus a production brief; all are editorial inputs assembled from original materials.
Use it next: Marketer adds the chosen placement’s official specification URL and capture date.
Check: No AI can supply missing legal approval or asset rights. Meta’s public Reels guide describes 9:16 creative and safe-zone checks, but that is not a complete universal specification for every placement. Use public approved facts and licensed assets only, excluding actual client stories, identities and sensitive legal circumstances.
Documentation limit: Linked official documentation supports the named feature/menu. The workflow-specific prompt, schema, mapping and reviewer rules are editorial adaptations.

STEP 2: Load the brief in a real AI workspace
Tool: Acrobat PDF Spaces
Open: Acrobat home > PDF Spaces > Create a PDF Space > Paste copied text / add approved files > Add to PDF Space
Access needed: See recipe prerequisites; exact firm subscription and account permissions not tested.

Add the fact list, asset inventory as an approved XLSX/TXT representation, disclosure and production specification. Use the initial prompt to check what the AI actually has. Do not connect a Meta account.

PASTE THIS PROMPT
Inventory only these supplied production sources. Return the approved fact IDs and exact statements, allowed asset IDs/uses, exact required disclosures, intended placement, duration/slide count and supplied technical specifications with source references. Flag anything missing or contradictory. Do not invent facts, legal disclosures, permissions, dimensions or safe areas. Do not draft or publish the ad yet.

Expected output: A source inventory with missing inputs and contradictions before any storyboard is written.
Use it next: Human resolves or expressly keeps blockers; then request the storyboard.
Check: A pasted asset description is not a license verification. Check that exact disclosure wording and factual IDs survived.
Documentation limit: Linked official documentation supports the named feature/menu. The workflow-specific prompt, schema, mapping and reviewer rules are editorial adaptations.

STEP 3: Draft two off-camera treatments
Tool: Acrobat AI Assistant
Open: Same PDF Space chat message field
Access needed: See recipe prerequisites; exact firm subscription and account permissions not tested.

After checking the inventory, paste the storyboard prompt. Keep any missing-spec warnings in the deliverable.

PASTE THIS PROMPT
Using only the verified brief, approved fact IDs, licensed asset inventory, supplied placement specifications and exact required disclosures, draft two off-camera treatments: a short text-led video and an image carousel. For every scene/slide give duration or order, on-screen copy, optional neutral narration, asset ID, fact IDs, disclosure placement and a reviewer question. Make the firm/service the subject; do not imply knowledge of the viewer’s private legal situation. Do not invent legal rules, outcomes, statistics, testimonials, assets, permissions, dimensions or safe areas. Preserve disclosure wording. Mark layout verification needed if specifications are absent; mark blocked if a disclosure cannot fit legibly. Do not clone a voice, fabricate a real client, render media or publish.

Expected output: Scene-by-scene video and carousel treatments with duration/order, on-screen copy, narration option, asset ID, fact IDs, disclosure placement and reviewer questions.
Use it next: Copy the storyboard into an internal production document.
Check: Click cited references; reject invented assets, unsupported benefit claims or hidden disclosures. The storyboard must use only existing licensed assets.
Documentation limit: Linked official documentation supports the named feature/menu. The workflow-specific prompt, schema, mapping and reviewer rules are editorial adaptations.

STEP 4: Approve a production-ready brief, if specifications are complete
Tool: Attorney and designer/marketer
Open: Internal storyboard and current placement specification
Access needed: See recipe prerequisites; exact firm subscription and account permissions not tested.

Attorney reviews factual/legal wording; the designer checks rights, readable disclosures, captions and placement layout using current official specifications. Resolve every blocked item before beginning production.

Expected output: Approved storyboard or an explicit blocked-item list.
Use it next: Hand the approved text storyboard to the firm’s existing designer/editor. Rendering and Ads Manager publishing are separate workflows.
Check: No Meta account change, budget decision, targeting change or ad publication occurs in this recipe.
Documentation limit: Linked official documentation supports the named feature/menu. The workflow-specific prompt, schema, mapping and reviewer rules are editorial adaptations.

ACCOUNT AND SOURCE CHECKS STILL NEEDED
- Exact Meta placement specifications were not accessible in the public Ads Guide session; the marketer must supply them.
- Adobe access and firm disclosure/asset approvals were not tested.

USING THE FILES IN THIS KIT
Use the exact files or source text named in the steps above. Native exports keep their own headers. The kit tables are editorial review worksheets; they are not a claim that a product exports those fields. Some routes use reviewed text directly or require additional original files. Never rename an unreviewed raw export to make it appear mapped. Keep expected-result files separate from inputs.

The source account, actual data, prompts and end-to-end workflow were not tested. Any final communication, filing, permission change, payment or publication needs its own authorized human action. This guide performs none.
