This book is greatly helpful, thank you very much !
Hi. I live in Tanzania. I’m a big fan of your products but the problem is in my country CC subscription is not accessible. For long time I have been checking if this issue has been resolved to no avail. My question is… Have you come up with any plan for designers who live in countries where CC is not accessible? In my case I don’t have any problems in paying the subscription fee. Please help. Thanks
Welcome Said, thank you for your questions. We apologize that Adobe is not yet offering “Creative Cloud for Individuals” in the country where you live… The list of where CC can be purchased is now up to 94 countries (see the Country Availability List) and always growing larger.
However, if you happen to have a billing address and form of payment (including PayPal) that is based in any one of those other countries where Adobe offers their products online, then you should still be able to purchase CC direct – even if your home address is elsewhere…
[Note that your Adobe ID needs to be associated with the same country as your credit card or billing address, so if it isn’t then you may have to create a new Adobe ID.]
But even if that doesn’t work, then you should still be able to buy Creative Cloud for Teams from a reseller in your country. Yes, CC for Teams is offered there, and shown on the countries list linked above – so you should be able to purchase it, even if only for 1 single license.
If the reseller option doesn’t work for some reason, then we would suggest contacting Adobe directly about that and expressing your feedback:
http://www.ContactAdobe.com/
Finally, while not everyone has full access yet, Adobe tells us they continue to work to expand the availability on an ongoing basis – so look for still more countries to be added going forward.
But whatever you do, avoid any illegitimate version at all costs!
Thank you for your prompt response.
…But whatever you do, avoid any illegitimate version at all costs
That last sentence almost made me cry because that is exactly what I’ve been doing since I couldn’t get a genuine illustrator program. This my confession and I wish to seriously apologize to the adobe team. I’m always haunted by a sense of guiltiness to the point that I’m completely unhappy with whatever I earn through my works. To me, this a very big sin and a burden on my shoulders. I therefore ask for forgiveness from the whole of the adobe team. Please.
I want to clean up my acts and start afresh. I hereby request you or anyone amongst you to clearly direct me on how to go forward with the above-mentioned process involving registry in another country or any other fruitful way. Actually, I don’t fancy this team thing.
There must be a way to help me. Adobe Illustrator is my life!
My plan is to go for the annual payment plan once this issue is resolved.
PLEASE HELP.
Hello again Said, thank you for sharing your thoughts and for your earnestness. Regrettably it’s not within our power to control which countries Adobe sells their software in. But we hope that the availability list continues to expand and eventually covers all countries in the entire world.
However, with your comments in mind, we intend to raise and follow-up on this issue personally with relevant Adobe staff at the upcoming MAX Conference later this month. We can only try, but it’s worth a shot.
Thanks again, especially for wanting to do the right thing!
Hi. I noted a couple of things after reading your messages. Now please check if the following plan can bear fruit:
1. I have a relative in Norway. His name is Ahmed. So I instruct him to send money via PayPal or some other applicable means. This means your payment is sent from Norway.
2. In the meantime, I am going to create a new adobe id. The name will be same, Said Mtezo but instead of indicating my country as Tanzania, I indicate it as Norway. My email address will also be there.
3. After receiving payment, adobe sends the program through the email I provided and eventually, I receive my package here in Tanzania.
Now, tell me, Is this plan feasible?
Thank you
Regrettably we cannot give specific advice on this. What we can help clarify is about Creative Cloud for Teams, which Adobe says is offered via resellers in your country.
You mentioned you “don’t fancy this team thing”… But what you might not realize is that even a single user can have a Teams subscription. Generally, a reseller would be happy to help with this, even just for one license.
In comparing CC for Teams vs Individuals, Adobe’s Teams product does offer some important advantages. For more details, see:
What’s the Difference Between Creative Cloud for Teams vs. Individuals?

Hope that helps.
What kind of amateurish operation are you running?
The links take us to adobe then to blurb where the book is $14.39.
This book isn’t free at all!
That’s wrong. The blurb option is only if you want a printed hard copy of the book.
The 211-page ebook is completely free and right there for the downloading… Just look.
It is a PDF with the same exact content as the printed for-sale book.
Obrigado pelos livros.
You’re welcome!
Tried, but I get this error:

Hi Michael,
Sorry to hear you’re having difficulties downloading the free Adobe book… The link should work fine, and it does for us. Importantly, did you try it with a different web browser, or using another computer or device?
You do need a free PDF reader already installed (such as the Acrobat Reader) to read the book.
Typically when someone has problems accessing the books, it’s because of an issue with the browser being used, or because there is something running on the desktop system that is restricting the web content.
Are you blocking or filtering anything with your browser(s) – like cookies, downloads, or any sites or URLs? Adobe recommends turning those things off for downloads…
Or are you running any utilities that might restrict your web surfing – like Ghostery, AdBlock, or Disconnect? Or possibly your firewall, antivirus program (esp. Kaspersky), or other third-party security software?
Occasionally some folks have difficulty accessing the books but usually it’s because of over-aggressive software or utilities like these. We suggest temporarily turning off anything that might be interfering, -and/or- trying it with a different web browser or another computer.
An alternative would be to try downloading the book PDF for mobile usage and reading with a tablet/iPad or smartphone/iPhone… That would avoid any issues with the desktop and then you could then share the books back to your computer using Dropbox, Box, or Creative Cloud online storage.
Hope that helps!

The page for “Adobe Design Basics” does not seem to have a link to download the book. I’m already logged into my Adobe account.
Just look for the blue “View all 1 pieces included” button at the upper right of the page.
That will bring up the book’s full PDF in your web browser, as well as a download button if you want to download it to your computer desktop or mobile device.
