Acrobat 8.x Professional (German) under WinXP SP2
Pressing F1 does not bring up the help.
Repair function went through but did not cure the problem.

Help files are installed under
c:\programme\gemeinsame dateien\adobe\help\de_de\acrobat pro\8.0
Starting help.html brings up the help files.
Evidently, connection between F1 and help files is missing.
Any hints?

Was it working before?

Try re-installing the software. There's probably a screwed up registry
setting. Who knows how these things happen, but they do.

You could use the Registry Editor yourself to try to fix the problem, but
more often there is more than one key involved, and for every one problem
you think you fix, you created three more problems.
