Offline Help for PSP X9?

Post by Zeitreisender »

Hello everyone,

does anyone know where i get the offline Help for PSP X9? I've looked on the support page, but found nothing.
For the previous versions X7 and X8 is Offline Help available.

Thanks, Radim :)

I have the same links (only in German). I am concerned but to the internal PSP X9 help system. The online help can only use so long as connected to the Internet. Corel introduced for the previous versions (X7 and X8) an optional "Offline Help" available for downloading. These optional help files can be saved on the hard disk, so that it can be accessed without an Internet connection.

For PSP X9 there this option is not likely? :cry:

Offline help is built into PSP X9. If you disconnect from the internet and click "Help Topics" in the Help menu it'll open up the offline help documentation. Give it a try.

Thank you for your help. :wink: I have interrupted the Internet connection and accessing help system in PSP X9. PSP showed me the following window:

Message from the (german) PSP Offline Help:

You are currently working offline. There are some help options available:
  • To view the web-based help, establish an Internet connection and start the help again.
  • If you regularly work offline, you can download a local version of Help. A local version of the help can be found at http://www.paintshoppro.com
But unfortunately there is no offline help download available? :x

Very strange. I have it so I assumed that they existed for all languages by default. I'm sorry. I've asked Corel about it, though I can't guarantee a response but I will reply if I do get one.

They said the Local Help files download will be published on or after the 14th of September. So you should be able to download it soon.

If the "Local Help file" is the PDF guide, it is available since the first days of September.
On the French WebUser Board, we propose all the guides since version PSP8 (Jasc) but only in French :

Local help Files are not the PDF Guide. They are the normal Help Topics that you get when you select "Help Topics" they also open in a web browser but are on your harddrive rather than on Corel's servers.

Ah, yes...
As I never use PSP without an internet connexion, I did'nt realize this possibility exists.

I also usually have an Internet connection. But it happens that I have elsewhere no internet available and then can use the local help.

Quick response: The offline help is available today in several languages.

Thanks again to LeviFiction!
