Hey, this is a truly helpful collection of resources. Thank you for creating and sharing !
Hi,
I just bought your product but I cannot open my download because it states that WORD cannot open it because it is over 32 mb?
Jodi
HELP…or I need my money back.
Hi Jodi, what exactly did you buy? It sounds like the file you downloaded from Adobe might have lost its extension, and so your system doesn’t know how to open it… That happens sometimes, especially if you were using the Internet Explorer browser.
But it’s easy to fix – just rename the file to add an “.exe” back onto the end (in Windows) or “.dmg” (in Mac). Then try opening/installing it again. Hope this helps.
Hello,
I am interested in knowing if there is a way to get Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash as a direct download without the extra installs such as Google Chrome, Toolbar, Set as Default Browser etc.
I am interested for our department, in particular Chrome is not completely compatible with some of our links. Please let me know if it is possible and if so the steps needed to obtain the downloads.
Thanks,
David
Yes David, absolutely – they are ALL here: direct download links for every major Adobe product, including the Reader and Player.
Enjoy!
Excellent page, with respect to answering some big FAQ type questions that otherwise could be hard to find. All here in one place.
That’s great Tony, glad it’s helpful and thanks for weighing in!
In Elements Organizer, how do you highlight more than 1 photo to mark them with a keyword tag, I’ve done it before but forget how! thanks
Hey there Melanie, to select multiple photos you just hold down the Ctrl key and click the additional photos you want…
Then you should be able to perform any operation you like with the selected images by using the menu bar or by right-clicking.
When I try to import photos from a folder only one photo imports. How do I import all and then star rate them? Also my organised folders appear completely muddled in the drop down list of Elements 11. You can probably tell this is completely new to me.
Welcome Babs, if Photoshop Elements is completely new, did you take a look at some of the free tutorials and ebooks linked in the article above? Those should really get you started and going in learning how to use the program from the ground up – including on how to add/arrange photos and folders…
Adobe’s official product documentation could also be very helpful.
Good Day
I have the Adobe Masters Collection CS5 as well as Adobe Acrobat 9. I have recently acquired a MacBook Pro and would like to move my installation from a Windows platform to the Mac platform. Where can I locate the downloads for these products. On the Adobe web site I am not able to locate the download links to this version. Please advise on links where I can download the full installation version for Mac as what I have received on DVD installation discs for Windows.
Also please advise if I need a new set of keys for the Adobe Masters Collection CS5 as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for installation on the Mac?
Awaiting your reply.
Thank You
Colin
Greetings Colin, we definitely have the direct download links available for CS5 as well as for Acrobat 9 & 10. However, to run natively on the Mac you need new serial numbers because your existing license keys will not work or be valid for another platform besides Windows.
For more information, see this guide:
How to Move Adobe Software Between Systems or from Windows to Mac
As you probably already know, Adobe no longer sells those older versions – so really your best and safest bet is to get CS6 and Acrobat XI – or instead get the Creative Cloud, which includes the new CC release together with Acrobat Pro.
In the latter case, you can run CC on both Windows and Mac OS (the license is valid for two machines and for both platforms), which you couldn’t do previously.
Hope this helps!
Hi,
Yesterday I downloaded the CS6 Design Premium for Mac, English version. The English UK version downloaded. I need the US English version. Can you help?
Thanks,
Ben
Yes Ben, you can find the Adobe CS6 direct download links here. Just choose whether you want the (U.S.) English or European version.
If you want the new Adobe “CC” release instead, we’ve got all the Creative Cloud direct links as well.
In both cases you can download whatever applications you want in any language for either Windows or Mac OS.
I got it all taken care of. Thank you.
When will Adobe Photoshop CS7 be released and available for purchase?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
David.
Hi David, there was some big news on that over the summer and here it is…
And further, here are some details on the recent new versions of the tools, new features included, etc.
I have followed the steps to download the trial version for PSE 9, but once it finishes going through the download, I go to open it and it takes me to a blank webpage.
I’m using a Microsoft Surface tablet and I believe it meets the system requirements, I’m not 100% sure though. Any more help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Christina, try Photoshop Elements 12 instead. A Microsoft Surface would have to be the “Pro” version and not RT – because such a tablet has to run the full Windows 8 (or Windows 8.1). Old versions of PSE like the one you mention came out before Windows 8, and so are not supported.
I bought a new MacBook Pro with Mavericks. But CS5 (Creative Suite) doesn’t work on it. Is there an update for CS5 for Mavericks?
Hey there Regine, here is Adobe CS/CC compatibility info for Mac OS ‘Mavericks’… There are no updates for old releases, where only Photoshop was tested.
Hello,
I would like to purchase a program that would do both of these things easily and well:
1) remove unwanted items from my pictures
2) color isolation
Please advise on which program I would need…thanks!
Welcome Mena, Adobe Photoshop will do what you want… You could go with Photoshop Elements 12 (~$100 for consumer version) or Photoshop CC (~$10 a month for professional version).
Here’s a general comparison of the two editions:
What’s the Difference Between Adobe Photoshop vs. Photoshop Elements?
I purchased the educational version of Adobe Design Premium CS5 in later 2011 for a Windows PC. But my PC has failed, so I have upgraded to a Mac and would like to transfer my key codes to a Mac. Can I do that? Do I have to use different disks from the ones I already have?
Thank you for your time.
Greetings Katie, to answer your questions:
The Creative Suite (CS) software is not multi-platform, and never has been. You can buy it to run natively on either a PC or a Mac, but not both. The discs and serial number you have will work for only one type of computer. You can crossgrade to switch between operating systems, but only if you have the most recent version (CS6).
Some people do tie the software together with virtualization or emulation programs to run non-natively on the other platform, but there can be additional issues with that in terms of performance, complexity, and cost.
Recently, however, Adobe has made a change in this single-platform policy – note that the licensing for the latest CC version of the tools does allow you to install and run on both operating systems, including both Windows and Mac at the same time.
Hope this helps.
Happy birthday Prodesigntools, and thanks for five awesome years!
Thank you KL, appreciate that!
I currently have Premiere Pro 2.0 and I’m about to upgrade my computer from XP to Windows 8.1 and I want to purchase Premiere Pro CS4 or CS5 or CS6. What are purchase prices of all of these software programs ? Will all of these software programs be compatible with Windows 8.1?
Thanks a lot
Hi Rob, here’s the scoop. Of the versions you mentioned, only CS6 is still sold by Adobe and it is officially supported on Windows 8.1.
Older versions (like CS4 etc) may not run properly, as they came out long before Windows 8 even existed.
We do not recommend trying to find/buy old Adobe releases anyway, it is highly risky. So altogether your best bet for a proper upgrade would be either CS6 from 2012 – or the newest release, CC 2014.
hey, i have cs6 on my old mac which broke and i lost all installation discs.
I’m trying to download it on my new mac, i have any proof if needed
Hello Egwuatu, try here for downloading the original free trials, and then enter your valid purchased serial number:

I would like to buy a version of photoshop that will work with my mac 10.6.8
how do I do this, where can I purchase it.
thank you
tom
Hey there Tom, the last version of Photoshop which worked/ran on Mac OS X v10.6.8 (“Snow Leopard”) was Photoshop CS6, which is still available for free trial download here, and in fact is also still offered for direct purchase from Adobe here.
You can confirm all the CS6 system requirements here, for every Adobe application.
The newer Creative Cloud releases – both Photoshop CC 2013 as well as the latest version Photoshop CC 2014 – both require Mac OS X 10.7 (“Lion”) or newer.
Keep in mind however, that Mac OS X 10.9 (“Mavericks”) is a free upgrade from Apple for all previous Mac operating systems.

How to download anything at all ……… so far all attempts say “Access Denied”
Hi Dave, just make sure to carefully follow our step-by-step instructions on whatever page you want to download from, before you click on any of the direct links!
Hey,
Thanks for getting back to me….. I was able to get the file I was looking for just last night!
However, I now have been presented with another problem……. The AAM will not install even if I download it from Adobe CC.
Do you have a solution for this…… can I get the Application Manager from your site?
Is there a download for the complete Adobe 2014 CC suite….. like the CS6 suite, instead of having to download one program at a time.
Thank you,
David
Here Dave, try these two links to answer your questions:
How can I reinstall the Adobe Application Manager?
Is there a way to install more than one CC trial/app at once?
I need help finding and downloading Acrobat 9 STANDARD…I tried dozens of links and only end up with the PRO version which is useless to me at this moment.
I need to move my license and software from one computer to another…any suggestions?
thanks

I need to find somewhere I can down load Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium. My original disk has become unusable. I do have a valid serial number for the product.
Welcome Carl, we do still have the CS3 direct download links – however keep in mind that that version was from 2007 and thus predates the release of all modern Mac/PC operating systems, and so is not supported on them.
Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 (full version) was purchased from you as a present for me earlier this year… I’m now trying to install it however the numbers you’ve provided on the back of the box are not valid serial numbers.
Your email directed me to your site, but it’s no help either. I cannot open the product.
Here’s the email:

Sorry Kurt, it sounds to us like you may have been scammed!
We do not sell CS6 software – and as far as we know, only Adobe still sells it legitimately…
That is also definitely not our email or anything we ever sent to you or anyone.
We only offer links to the standard CS6 free trial downloads, but definitely not serial numbers or license keys. Those 5-step instructions were taken directly from our trial page.
Most importantly, you should never try to buy CS6 from anywhere else but Adobe direct, as it can be very dangerous.
Sorry, but you have to take it up with whoever the vendor was that you sent your money to. Adobe also offers an anti-piracy form if that also might help. Good luck!
Hi!
I was wondering how long do the CS5 free trials last? I am downloading it to test out another program for my company and the bosses won’t be able to check out the program until next Friday or the week after.
Thanks!
