    Community Help

    Community Help is an integrated environment on adobe.com that gives you access to community-generated content moderated by Adobe and industry experts. Comments from users help guide you to an answer.

    Community Help draws on a number of resources, including:

    • Videos, tutorials, tips and techniques, blogs, articles, and examples for designers and developers.

    • Complete online product Help, which is updated regularly by the Adobe documentation team.

    • All other content on Adobe.com, including knowledgebase articles, downloads and updates, Developer Connection, and more.

    Use the help search field in your product’s Help interface to access Community Help directly, or go to www.adobe.com/support/acrobat to access the product Help and Support page, a portal to all of the Community Help content for your product.

    The sites searched by the default Community Help search engine are hand-selected and reviewed for quality by Adobe and Adobe Community Experts. Adobe experts also work to ensure that the top search results include a mixture of different kinds of content, including results from online product Help.

    Product Help

    Adobe provides a comprehensive user guide for Acrobat as online product Help and PDF. Topics from online product Help are included in your results whenever you search Community Help.

    If you want to consult or search online product Help only, you can access it by clicking the product Help link in the upper-right corner of the Help and Support page. Be sure to select the This Help System Only option on the Help page before you do your search.

    The Help menu within the product opens local Help, a subset of the content available in online product Help. Because local Help is not as complete or up-to-date as online product Help, Adobe recommends that you use the PDF version of product Help if you want to stay off-line. A downloadable PDF of complete product Help is available from two places:

    • The product’s Help and Support page (upper-right corner of the page)

    • Web Help (top of the Help interface)
