USING ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4

Resources

If you’re not connected to the Internet, the Help menu within the product opens local Help, a subset of the content
available in on-line product Help. Because local Help is not as complete or up-to-date as on-line product Help, Adobe
recommends that you use the PDF version of product Help if you want to stay offline. 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)

Local and web Help (top of the Help interface)

For more information on accessing product help, see

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/CommunityHelp/

.

If you are working in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Fireworks, or Dreamweaver, and you want to turn
off Community Help so that local Help opens by default, do the following:

1

Open the Connections panel (Window > Extensions > Connections).

2

From the Connections panel menu

, select Offline Options.

3

Select Keep Me Offline and click OK.

Note: When you disable web services from the Connections panel, all other web services (such as Adobe Kuler and Adobe
ConnectNow) are also disabled.
