Re: [Framers] Access to Acrobat Help after End of Life support?

Lin, 

The PDF may have been installed with the software; you just have to hunt around 
in the Adobe folders on your machine for it. If not, you can download it from a 
number of places other than Adobe. For example, you can find it here:

http://www.mvc.edu/files/acrobat_X_pro_help.pdf

I can sympathize. Something similar happened to me the other day when I was 
trying to research an error in Windows Update 
on my Windows 7 machine. Every link that Google gave me to the Microsoft 
website brought up a page about the impending end of free upgrades to Windows 
10. (Implying, perhaps, that upgrading was the way to resolve the error?) 
Fortunately, I was able to find the answer in a non-Microsoft user forum.

Regards,
Penelope

Subject: [Framers] Access to Acrobat Help after End of Life support?

I just tried to use Help in my Acrobat 10 program. Instead of taking me to
the (online-only, and wasn't THAT a *fine *design decision) help files, I
was taken to an End of Support page.

Which is fine, I'm not actually looking for technical support from Adobe. I
just want to look something up in the Help files. How?

[Framers] Access to Acrobat Help after End of Life support?
