Offline Help Files for Lightroom 3.5?

I understand that these offline help files do exist, but I'm unable to find them.
Online help files are totally useless with the Broadband speed available in the sticks where I live!
Will some kind soul please help?

There's a link in the upper right corner of the LR help screen that lets you see a PDF of the help file.
Once you have that showing in your browser, there's a "save" button. The PDF is about 10 megabytes, but you only have to download it once.

Where Can I Download Offline Help Files for Creative Cloud?

The heading says it all. I am not always connected to the internet and, in any event, I find the on-line help annoying and tedious. I can only find PDF help files for CS4, where can I get them for CS6?

That is not off-line help, it is simply a PDF file full of links to on-line resources. It is next to useless. I want to be able to look at teh help document and get answers to questions, not links to answers.

"the help files for Lightroom were not properly installed"

I get the above-mentioned error when I try to access the help file. What to do?
I saw that the same question were raised earlier this year but remained unanswered.
When I check for updates, I am informed that my software is up to date.

Basically, Adobe are moving (or in many instances have already moved) away from Help files being installed on your hard disk. The basic Lr installer no longer includes Help documents, instead it should take you to the page I shared with you earlier.
Hopefully, above helps, otherwise, the folowing excerpt from Adobe Community Help Known Issues page explains futher. It's not specific to Lightroom but does try to 'excuse' the problem you're seeing.

Issue: Local Help is not available
Adobe plans to offer PDF reference files for download in June 2012 and apologizes for the inconvenience. If you are encountering error messages, such as "Adobe Help Viewer is not available. Please reinstall the application," see the separate troubleshooting document:http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/help-manager-troubleshoot-error-codes.html
Online Help is updated and provides a comprehensive reference. Online Help for every Adobe product is available at http://helpx.adobe.com/support/
Note:
In almost all cases, there is NO need to reinstall the CS product application or the Help Manager. The error strings are outdated and incorrect. See the troubleshooting document referenced above for more details and steps to resolution.

Cannot find CS6 offline help file

Hi,
When I try to opne the Dreamweaver CS6 help file by clicking on help in the help menu or F1 Dreamweaver opens the site http://helpx.adobe.com/de/dreamweaver/topics.html but not the offline help file. I can see that the Adobe help applcation gets started but it terminates after a few seconds. How can I open the offline CS6 help file? Why idoes Adobe help application terminates after a few seconds? Thank you for your help.
Regards

The answer above is not quite what the first post asked.
In many parts of CS6 - like setting up a site for instance, there is a help button that does not work if you are offline. Local internet services in my part of the world are rubbish at best and hopeless at worst, so it is not always possible to get on line help. This does not help the working day at all.
I have an installation of CS5.5 and when I click on a help link within the program, it finds my offline help files and displays the correct help for the topic.
I just installed CS6 for the first time on a new PC expecting the same. There appears to be no offline help available, nor can I see any way to install it.
After a major search operation on the adobe website, I did find two pdf help files for CS5, one of which has some help for CS6, but not a lot, and another that contains the same help + 20 or so pages for the creative cloud version, which is of no use to me. For a program that cost a vast amount to purchase, removing the built in help is not what I expected, though I am not at all surprised.
So is there a way to set up offline help without having the pdf file always open just in case? Or are we stuck with a no help system?

Download local help files for PSE10

I stumbled upon a section of Photoshop Elements 10 that had the downloadable help files for use offline. They were gray and not clickable, but I lost how to find them again and Adobe help online is useless.
How do I download the help files so they can be accessed when there is no internet connection?

I searched that entire document and it does not give those instructions!
I'm so frustrated!
To be clear about what I need...
I want to download the help files associated with the program, so that when I hit F1 or the help button, the program should provide help search and NOT attempt to connect to the internet.
I found this section by accident already, so I know it is here.
I just cannot reproduce what I clicked to make it appear.
It was gray and not clickable but it said something like PENDING DOWNLOAD.
I assumed it was gray because I had not yet registered the program.

Keeping offline help files up-to-date

Months ago, I've downloaded the help files for all the CC applications to my Shared/Documents/Adobe/PDF/pdf/ folder for offline help when hitting F1 from within the application. And that's fine, it works.
But now I wonder, how do I keep them easily up-to-date.
I know I can go to that page again and download them manually over and over again... but that's a hassle.
Then I tried to remove the offline files to restore the online link, but that doesn't work.
How do you get online help back under the F1 button?
Or is there a solution to to refresh the offline files with a single click?
Any ideas?

Jeff, it's NOT a specific product inquiry!
I have 15 offline help pdf files, for 15 products (AE, AU, BR, DW, FL, AI, IC, ID, PS, PL, PR, ...). It is an installation question. I can't go post this question in each of the 15 products, right?
I know you want to help, but this is discussion about being a the right forum is not helping me... sorry.
So back to the real problem:
I know that my link shows the pdf's for the OFFLINE help.
I want the ONLINE link back, as it is with a default installation.
I know that this is possible because here at work I have them offline, while at home I use the online help.
EDIT:
When I create a new user in OS X, that user has the online help system. So there must be a preference setting in my local user folder that regulates that. I could try to delete all my preferences files, but that is a bit drastic and time consuming to reset everything to my likes.

"Lightroom cannot use the catalog named "Lightroom Catalog" because it is not writable and cannot be opened". This message just started coming up after downloading lightroom cc (previously using lightroom 5)...am i backing up properly or not???

Open Pictures folder and move the files named lrcat-journal and lrcat.lock to Desktop.
Make sure that , they are not inside Pictures folder any more and try to open backup from Lighrtroom and check..
Any LRcat file with .lock extension , move it to Desktop.

Where can I find PDF Help files for CS5?

I have CS5 Design Standard ( without extended Photoshop) and I need to get the PDF help files for the component applications. I have tried entering CS5 Help Files and variations of that theme in the search box here at Adobe forums and get many things about CS6 and no Help files for CS5. The search tool here should be googleized or something. 2many adds for new things 2 buy not enough help for what you already bought.

Hi,
Here's another link for Ps CS5 PDF help:

No local help files for Photoshop CS6 extended

Hi
I wish to use local help files for Photoshop CS6 but only online support is available. Local files are not listed under the Adobe Help preferences. The option to search only local rather than online help is greyed out. I found and downloaded a PDF with of the help files but don't know where to install it or if this is possible. I have CS 5 Creative Suite and this works fine giving the option of local or online help when accessed.
Is there a way to install and use local help files in photoshop CS6?
Thank you.

Hi and thanks for directing me to that article, it should have done the trick. I am using mac mountain lion 10.8.5.
The help system has always operated oddly - I have Photoshop cs6 but also the cs5 master suite installed. CS5 works fine but Photoshop cs6 only gives the option for online help and then directs me to the CC site. There is no simple listing for just Photoshop help in the help menu - presumably as it is not seeing it installed
I tried various configurations in the article, having to set up the folders they suggested. In my case, in a variety of alternative places as I have a boot up volume with the documents folder moved onto a RAID array so the Shared folder is not in the documents folder but in Users on the boot drive. So - confusing - but tried all the likely candidates and folder configurations/locations while following the instructions as closely as possible. Even tried an documents folder alias to redirect the program to the alternative path way.
At least now I have the PDFs and can look through them outside the adobe interface. The problem with the community site being questions regarding photoshop alone, yield answers for all sort of other issues and programs.
Thanks for your help though, which should have worked, appreciated.

Hi Mr_Sia and welcome to the RH community.
You could try looking at the HAT Matrix. This is a comparison
of all the help tools around. Click

RoboHelp itself, whilst it does support over 35 different languages
does not support Persian or Arabic.

Adobe Reader X: offline help file?

hello,
I'd like the F1 link on the Help Menu to open a local offline Help file, not start my browser to go to Adobe's online HTML help pages. Is this possible? Where do I find the necessary file(s)?
I already have saved the reader_X_help.pdf file available via a link on the online Adobe pages, which I certainly will read to get the maximum out of the reader, but context-sensitive F1 key offline help is very convenient and much faster than starting my browser.

Does anyone know were I can obtain the French version of the help pdf?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/reader/using/reader_X_help.pdf
I've tried changing the language local as per Adobe's suggestions to fr_FR, fr_CA, and CA_fr.
It is always redirected to the en_US link above.

Help files for Audition v1.5

I am looking for a download of help files for Audition v1.5 so I do not need to be online to get help. I was hoping to find it as a pdf or a chm file.

If you have a legal copy of 1.5, you don't need to be online to access the help files. They may well open up in your browser, but you'll find that they are being supplied from a local file, and not an online one at all. That's why they have a path of C:/Program Files/Adobe/Audition 1.5/help/en_US/html/help.html - it's from within your machine.
