Adobe Apps for Students: Software Training & Support Resources

Summary

This article guides students to the support and training resources appropriate to their individual situation.

Body

Overview

Until you’ve gained some experience with a Creative Cloud app, you may need to refer to some help or tutorial information. Suggested resources include:

  • Official Adobe self-service documentation, video tutorials, topic-specific user guides.
  • Students taking specific classes that require advanced creative software and therefore have access to Creative Cloud should first ask for help and training from their instructor.

Students seeking help with Acrobat Pro can contact the PCC IT Service Desk.
