Hi, the links aren’t working for me, it goes to the Adobe page.
“We’re sorry, we encountered an error processing your request.
Please try your request again. If you continue to receive this error, please report it using our Customer Service form.”
I’m logged in. Thanks for all your generosity.
It’s not working with my Opera but with Chrome it is. Thanks again!
Great – glad to hear you got it sorted out Sylvester, and thanks for letting us know! Nice to see you again too.
It’s not working in Chrome or Firefox for me. I click on the download link and another window opens that is blank with the waiting icon going until it times out. In Firefox the same thing.
I tried right clicking and save file as. The browser is trying to download the file but nothing is downloading. I think Adobe has a problem.
I brought CS6 Production Premium as a download and it took a week for them to get a download link on my products page. Fortunately they did email me the license key code. I had to download the free trial version and do it that way.
Don’t even mention Adobe help. I have spent many hours chatting to people offshore and they have not resolved my problem or even understood the relationship between Lightroom and Photoshop as it should be. In the end I resolved the problem myself.
Sorry about that Tony, it seems to be working for most other visitors fine. Try logging out of your Adobe ID account, clearing the browser cache and cookies, restarting the browser, and then trying again. Or try a different browser entirely, and/or a different computer.
Also for the download to work, make sure to temporarily turn off any surfing restrictions you might have set up on your computer, like site or cookie blockers, hosts exclusions, firewalls or antivirus software, etc. – and allow third-party cookies if you don’t already.
Hope this helps!
Hallelujah, suddenly it decided to download.
Terrific Tony, glad to hear you got it going… Any idea what was changed for it to work, or perhaps it was just Adobe’s servers deciding to cooperate for you?
The point I’m making is not that the customer service is “offshore” but that they do not really understand the products and how they work… I was told to uninstall Lightroom when the problem was in Photoshop. I had to uninstall CS6, run the Creative Suite clean-up tool and re-install CS6.
I think Adobe servers were slammed as I did nothing, just left it trying to download. Thanks for the help.
wow, these are great ! thanx !
The e-books above are organized by product type. If you would prefer to follow through Adobe’s learning series instead, you can choose to download a consolidated file according to the following three areas. The files are the same as above, but just reorganized according to sequence of learning (by project #) instead of product type.
VISUAL DESIGN – Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign

DIGITAL DESIGN – Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Flash

DIGITAL VIDEO – Premiere, After Effects, Audition, Encore

Thanks so much Alwin, that is great of you to share. Last year we actually wrote an article about those curriculums, for the CS5 versions – but they have really improved a great deal and gotten much easier to use and work through for CS6… So we will be refreshing that story with these new resources.
And you’re absolutely right – the new CS6 curriculums contain everything included in the ebooks above, plus more – just check out the “Student Guides” for each chapter. Thanks again!
Help! am trying to download it but that redirects me to adobe.com
Hi Rahul, actually these links are supposed to direct you to Adobe.com – but if you’re still having difficulties then please see these download tips given in the comments above.
I want to learn CS6
Sure Mike – and if these gratis Creative Suite 6 ebooks aren’t enough, check out 30 hours of free online video tutorials.
Hi! Where in Adobe.com can I download the free eBooks for CS6? I can’t seem to find it.
Greetings Patty, just follow the links in the article above – they go directly to the all the different free Adobe CS6 e-books available.
Having used Photoshop 4 very successfully for some time. I look forward to using version 6 in the final version, I am an amateur and rely on the Nef conversion. Photoshop is a very important part of my hobby.
I can’t seem to get access to these. I’ve tried on multiple browser types on both Mac and Windows, but every time I just get the error message “Creating new community user failed. Please contact an administrator.”
Sorry you’re having difficulties Andrew – that’s really strange, we’ve never heard of anything like that before… It may have been some sort of temporary glitch. If you’re still having problems, clear your browser cache and cookies, and then try again with logging into Adobe to download the ebooks.
If it still doesn’t work, then try a different browser, computer, and/or Internet connection.
I thiknk something is definitely up on their site. I have tried multiple times with multiple browsers and multiple computers and get nowhere. Hopefully they will clear things up soon. These look like great resources.
Not sure why you’re having difficulties with it Carole – we just tested the free Photoshop e-book link here again, and everything still works fine on our end. Hope it works for you soon!
Got stuck on the “Screen name” page :-( It doesn’t lead anywhere regardless of what name I choose. Are there any other addresses to download these e-books?
Hey there Alex, you need to have a valid Adobe ID login to access and download these ebooks…
But don’t worry, creating an account is free (and easy), just like the books.
I do have a valid Adobe ID, otherwise I could not download the trial. The problem is only with downloading e-books
Not sure why it’s not working for you then Alex… Could you explain more on what you mean by “screen name” page then? What happens when you try it, or what error message are you getting, if any?
There aren’t any other places to get these, as far as we’re aware – although all of this content is included within the free CS6 curriculums, which download in a similar fashion.
When I press one of your e-book links I get to the Adobe Education Exchange login page. Then I login with my Adobe ID and the next page states “A screen name is required to continue. Please enter a screen name.” Entering any screen name doesn’t lead anywhere – pressing “Continue” just reloads the page. I tried Internet Explorer and Firefox with the same result
That’s very strange Alex, we haven’t heard of that message before – no one here has ever reported a similar issue… Have you seen the Adobe ID Account Sign-In FAQ?
You could also try setting/changing your screen name manually, see if that works, and then coming back here.
When I first tried to download the books it to me to the page to enter the screen name. I was logged in to my account and once I entered a screen name it didn’t do anything. Now I get the the following message: Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect
Hi this is Sylvester,
I couldn’t log in with IE 8 but Chrome works flawlessly. Hope this helps.
Great, thank you for chiming in Sylvester – and if anybody is still having difficulties then also see these download tips given in the comments above.
I managed at last, with some assist from the folks on this website (thanks!) to get copies of these ebooks to open. But I can’t get them to print — I get the pictures, not the text or the text minus the pix. Same problem after saving them to my desktop. I really want complete hardcopies to thumb, puzzle over, and make notes on. Any suggestions?
Glad to hear you got them Linda, but it sounds like your PDF Reader might be out of date… You need the Portfolio capability, which was introduced in Acrobat 9…
But you’re best off using the current release, the free Adobe Reader X. Using this latest version you should then be able to open and browse through all of the downloaded e-books.
hello the link doesn’t work for me
Sorry it’s not working for you Ryner – try these earlier suggestions above.
…i really love all of this stuff.. i really want to learn and master all of this stuff but of course it will take a long time to make it :-).. thanks to you guys who keeps on sharing wonderful and awesome tutorials.. more practice still, and some day I will master these things….
