Community Help brings together active Adobe product users, Adobe product team members, authors, and experts to give you the most useful, relevant, and up-to-date information about Adobe products. Whether you're looking for a code sample or an answer to a problem, have a question about the software, or want to share a useful tip or recipe, you'll benefit from Community Help. Search results will show you not only content from Adobe, but also from the community.
With Adobe Community Help you can:
- Fine tune your search results with filters that let you narrow your results to just Adobe content, community content, developer resources, or even code samples.
- Download core Adobe Help and language reference content for offline viewing using the new Community Help AIR application.
- See what the community thinks is the best, most valuable content via ratings and comments.
- Share your expertise with others and find out what experts have to say about using your favorite Adobe product.
Viewing Community Help
If you have any Adobe CS5 product, then you already have the Community Help application. This companion application lets you search and browse Adobe and community content, plus you can comment and rate on any article just like you would in the browser. However, you can also download Adobe Help and language reference content for use offline. You can also subscribe to new content updates (which can be automatically downloaded) so that you'll always have the most up-to-date content for your Adobe product at all times.You can download the application from http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/index.html
