2. Delete the adobeassistance folder, in the following location:

Solution 2: Copy the appropriate help package to the Help Center’s package folder. (Windows only)
Copy the help package for the application that is missing Help content to the package folder for the Help Center.

Note: The CreativeSuite_2.0_en-us.zip file contains help content for Adobe Version Cue, color management, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Stock Photo, keyboard shortcuts, and other topics.
3. Paste the help package to the Packages folder in Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\AdobeHelpData.
4. Restart Adobe Help Center.
Solution 3: Reinstall the application.

Background information
If the Adobe Help Center database or cache files become corrupt, Help content may not be available for specific Adobe applications.
The Help Center Packages folder must contain the zipped help package for an installed application or that application won’t appear in the Help For pop-up menu.
