Adobe Help resources

Documentation for your Adobe software is available in a variety of formats.

In‑product and LiveDocs Help

In‑product Help provides access to all documentation and instructional content available at the time the software ships. It is available through the Help menu in your Adobe software.

LiveDocs Help includes all the content from in‑product Help, plus updates and links to additional instructional content available on the web. For some products, you can also add comments to the topics in LiveDocs Help. Find LiveDocs Help for your product in the Adobe Help Resource Center, at www.adobe.com/go/documentation.

Most versions of in‑product and LiveDocs Help let you search across the Help systems of multiple products. Topics may also contain links to relevant content on the web or to topics in the Help of another product.

Think of Help, both in the product and on the web, as a hub for accessing additional content and communities of users. The most complete and up‑to‑date version of Help is always on the web.

How To topics

The How To topics provide a brief overview of the most common tasks. If you need more information, click the link at the bottom of the How To topic to view the related Help topic.

PDF documentation

The in‑product Help is also available as an Adobe PDF that is optimized for printing. Other documents, such as installation guides and white papers, may also be provided as PDFs.

All PDF documentation is available through the Adobe Help Resource Center, at www.adobe.com/go/documentation. To see the PDF documentation included with your software, look in the Documents folder on the installation or content disc.

Printed documentation

Printed editions of the in‑product Help may be available for purchase in the Adobe Store, at www.adobe.com/go/store. You can also find books published by Adobe publishing partners in the Adobe Store.

A printed workflow guide is included with all Adobe Creative Suite® 3 products, and stand‑alone Adobe products may include a printed getting started guide.

Note: Printed documentation is not available in all languages.
