I have been trying to get help with various pieces of software that was purchased with Adobe Creative Suite CS6 (Master Collection). The help is none existent and they don’t care. I sound like a whiner, but the majoring of you know better. It’s crap and the upgrade to CS6 was and is the worst experience of my adult computer experience. I have been with Adobe PageMaker and went through PageMaker 4 (whatever the last # was before CS1) and into CS1 – CS5 and even CS 5.5. I have had problems with InDesign working with xml and Extension Manger with Dreamweaver.
The xml problem was the end of the line. The tech support person who was designated for InDesign had the nerve to ask, “why are you trying to work with xml”. I flipped out. This is part of InDesign that has been with InDesign since CS4 and has made leaps and bounds improvements with CS6. Yes I am trying it for the first time but all the sudden I was the smartest person on the phone.
As far as Extension Manager, I have not been able to use it since I upgraded to CS6. I called tech support months ago. They kept trying to fix the problem and then upped me to the next level. They upped me to the next level. I never got to talk to the 3rd level because they needed to call me, I couldn’t be transferred to them. This lasted for a week. When I called back they tried to help with the same steps I had already gone through. I told them I had already tried what they were doing and didn’t pay any attention. They then upgraded me to the 3rd level because that was I n my records. This happened three times. Once they realized that I should be upgraded they would say that ‘those people’ would need to call. From the last time I talked to tech support about this issue to now has been 3 months. No phone calls. I live and work out of my house and I have an answering service when I can’t answer the phone. I gave then my home /office phone and my cell phone. Told them that wanted them to call my cell because then I would know they called. Guess what, they called my home phone, or I should say that they sent me an email telling me they tried. That was BS because there was never a record of a missed call.
I buy Dell Computers because of the tech support. I always have problems but they are there to help me. In the past, Adobe had the same tech support. That is why I stayed with them and not going over to the other one (we all know who that is). I am now looking for the ‘Other One’ because I am fed up with Adobe.
I can't find a better place at this time to complain so here I am. I am going to post this where ever I can. Please use this as a starting point to get Adobe back on track and get their heads out of the Cloud.
