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 product ships. It is available through the Help menu in your Adobe product.

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, LiveDocs also lets you add comments. Find LiveDocs Help for your product in the Adobe Help Resource Center, at www.adobe.com/go/ctcs3_documentation.

Most versions of in-product and LiveDocs Help let you search across the Help of multiple products. Topics 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.

PDF documentation

The in-product Help is also available as a 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/ctcs3_documentation. PDF documentation included with your product can be found in the Documents folder on the installation or content DVD.

Printed documentation

Printed editions of the complete in-product Help are 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 individual Adobe products may include a printed getting started guide.
