How do I just talk to an Adobe representative who can fix my issue with your product? This whole customer support setup is insane...

I mean really. Adobe is a huge software company - how can they tolerate customer service this bad. I have been clicking around in circles on the Adobe site, which inevitably just funnels me back into the forums (thus far unhelpful). And from what I've been reading, once I DO get in contact with someone (how?), the support calls/chats don't seem to be much better. Someone please prove me wrong. You are squandering the good will of customers who pay a lot of money for your products.

I can't even return the product I purchased because the help links just take me here:

Original request for help:

Adobe Acrobat Standard DC - error loading downloads

I think you just selected the wrong product (probably Acrobat Reader instead of Acrobat, like you did with your original message).

When I select Acrobat and then Downloading problems I get this screen:

As you can see, the Phone option is available and when I click on it I get the relevant phone number. If you're located in the US it's:

800-833-6687

No. As you can see, neither the phone or chat options are available when I click on Acrobat > Downloading, installing, setting up > Downloading and installing > Contact us.

But thank you for providing the phone number, I will try that. (I apologize if I am being rude; this is very frustrating.)

Were you logged in to your account when you did that? What country do you have set up as your location?

Please read my post before responding. You can see from the picture I posted that Chat Help is available "24 hours a day, 7 days a week" and yet "chat is currently closed". Not to mention that it is within the hours you specified and chat is still closed.

I am also not trying to cancel a Creative Cloud membership.
