Adobe Digital Editions EPUB

Wondering how to get the Adobe Digital Editions to accept library books. I had to reinstall after a hard drive issue and mistakenly clicked the box that said that I would only be able to read books on this device (computer)...I have tried everything to go back & change that, including uninstalling Adobe and starting over - can't get back to that screen and can't transfer books over to my Nook. I had done this many times before so logically think it's that checked box.

There's a Forum for Digital Editions

Please I need help ASAP how to convert Adobe Digital Editions (epub) format to PDF

I am using window 8 and i have a book in ADE (acsm) and i want to convert to PDF and I dont know how I tryed every advice

If you want long term access make sure you register your copy of ADE(Digital Editions) with an explicit Adobe ID BEFORE you open the .acsm file in ADE.
If you open the .acsm file in digital editions, it will create a (DRM) file, either .epub or .pdf.
It is already decided which you will get in the .acsm file; you can't choose.
(Sometimes there is a choice before you download the .acsm file; for example our library usually gives the choice)
Once you have the file you cannot convert it because of the DRM.
Even if you have a DRM .pdf you still need ADE or similar to open it, again because of the DRM.

InDesign CS5.5 EPUB export not showing cover image in Adobe Digital Editions

I have a document that I am trying to ensure is reflecting the cover image prior to uploading to several EPUB sites like google and Barnes and Noble. I am using Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre, Firefox (EPUBReader) to do the troubleshooting on the document. Calibre shows the cover image Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) does not. Are their any known problems with ADE not reflecting the cover image that I need to be aware of before I continue working on this?
The ADE help says the following:
"Once the items are in your library, there are two ways to view the content of any bookshelf. You can view thumbnails of your items. The thumbnail is the cover page of the item (or just the first page if it doesn't have a cover page). In this view, you see the set of thumbnails and some information about each item (author, title). You can also sort the order in which the items are shown by author, title, date created, number of pages, and so forth."
Here is basic informaiton. I have a cover page in my export to EPUB but ADE will only show the first page. Again Calibre shows the cover page.
CS 5.5
The project is a book (indb) composed of multiple documents (indd)
Exporting as book as an EPUB
On general tab I am "Use existing image"
I am rasterizing the first image in Indesign via the "Object - Object export options" but I am not selecting that option when on the general tab of the Export to EPUB options. I am chosing a file from my disk. I thought that maybe the file name was too long but I changed the image to "cover.jpg" and reexported it but it still does not work.
Here are the contents of the content.opf file with all the pointers. I have updated the file as I believe you can tell with guides, creation date, etc....
It passes the SIGIL check.
The image name is Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg. It is 300 dpi and 1650 x 2550. I could also cut in the one that I did for cover.jpg but it only replaces the file name.

I have also been trying to get this cover image to display on PC for NOOK but it appears that everyone is having hits problem too. I have followed some trouble shooting guides and renamed the jpg image, Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg to cover.jpg but that doesn't seem to work either for NOOK.
Any help you can give would be appreciated. I am new to InDesign (I know you probably hate hearing that, but I have gotten so close to being done overcoming all the new user hurdles). I think this is my last one before uploading to the appropriate sites - PS. I got the cover page to show up on the Kindle but not Adobe's own product.
Thanks

ebookjunkie, I have just used InDesign to publish two very short "books" (.99 cent variety) and started this thread with the first question. Look to Bob for the expert advice. This is neophyte advice from someone moving from publishing a full book using Word to EPUB/Kindle and now using InDesign to publish to EPUB/Kindle.
First ADE is useless. I say this out of frustration of trying to use it to troubleshoot problems and it has so many problems in displaying an EPUB that you spend a lot of time troubleshooting ADE issues rather than EPUB problems. The problems are not limited to but won't display a cover page properly, text wrapping is iffy, Drop caps a problem, bringing over supported items like drop caps, all small caps, etc.... are also issues as best I can tell. Humble opinion is delete off your desktop. I use the following to troubleshoot my EPUB's/Kindle books on my Windows platform; Calibre, Barnes and Noble's Nook for PC and iPhone iTunes for EPUB (Sigil to look for errors); and for Kindle, Kindle previewer and Kindle for the PC. Even after doing this, I just today saw my book a buyer's Android "Reader" and the pictures did not display at all. So it is publish once and test everywhere! Unfortunately, you just can't test all the possible devices and iterations of readers. (I am from IBM and we couldn't do it, so how publishers are supposed to figure it out is beyond me!)
On the absolutely great news end, you will see a lot of problems about placing images on the iPad with a lot of workarounds. They apparently (Apple) have fixed this as my two publications show images nicely now on both the iPhone and iPad with the iTunes bookshelf/reader. They were "microdots" when viewed previously. I did nothing to fix it and was just not going to publish to the iPAd and just tested them a few weeks ago and they display perfectly. So Apple has fixed the problem. If it looks good on the Nook for PC, it should look good on the iPAD/iPhone now as best I can tell.

Previewing epub in adobe digital editions, it says "author unknown"

I filled in all the metadata in InDesign (CS5.5), exported to epub, opened to preview in Adobe Digital Editions. All looks good, except it says "author unknown." Does anyone know about this? How to get "author name" to show up?

Thanks, Steve. Since I'd naively applied styles after having created the indd book, I'd had to apply styles to each doc. in the epub files, so now I've put the metadata into each of those files, and lo and behold, now the author name shows up in ADE. Much thanks for the tip.

Fixed Layout EPUB, Buttons dont work with Adobe Digital Editions

Hello Community,
I am working with InDesign CC 2014.1 and Adobe Digital Editions 4 (ADE).
I am developing a FXL epub. When viewing the exported epub with ADE the buttons don't work.
I also tried to view other epubs as the one mentioned in this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1684411
No animations work.
can someone help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance.

ADE is not a very good FXL EPUB reader. Try iBooks, Readium for Chrome or Kobo.

Does anyone know how to move ePub ebooks from Adobe digital editions to a Kobo?

Does anyone know how to move ePub ebooks that I've purchased onto my Kobo eReader? I've tried everything...help from where I bought the books, surfing the net, etc. but even though the book is in the library of my Adobe Digital Editions I can't drag it onto the Kobo library. The dragging stops at the border of the Adobe site. I've spent hours and am SO frustrated - hope somebody can help.

Have you tried contacting Adobe?

I am receiving an error message from another software (Epub Ultimate) stating: "Authorize Adobe Digital Editions to Generate an AdeptKey". How do I do this?

Problem copying Epub files to Sony 505 for library ebooks using Adobe Digital Editions.

I am using Adobe Digital Editions to copy library ebooks to my Sony 505 using a Vista Home Premium 64 bit machine.
Adobe PDF files successfully copy and are readable.
However, when a subsequent copy is done for any Epub book from the library the previously copied PDF files change
to proprietary on the 505. They are unreadable and show as one page long. The Epub book is the only library book that is
now readable.
I have all of the latest software on the PC (it is only one month old) and the latest firmware on the Sony 505.
I have also reformatted my internal memory on the Sony 505, but this did not have any affect.
Any suggestions?

One solution to may issues with ADE2.0 is to use the more reliable v1.7.2,
Try that and see if it helps.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

I am trying to transfer previously downloaded epub documents to my Nook. I downloaded ADE to my Nook but now I cant open my documents with my Adobe Username and password.

Hi bratindu,
1. To confirm Adobe Digital Editions is authorized properly, take the following steps.
In Adobe Digital Editions, from the title list view, go to the Library menu and select Authorize computer.
If ADE is authorized, move on to #2.
If ADE is not authorized, proceed through the steps to Authorize it with an Adobe ID.
2. Reset the ADE folder on the nook:
Close Adobe Digital Editions.
Connect the nook to your computer.
Under My Computer or Computer, open the drive associated with your device (likely named nook (X:) where X is the drive letter).
Locate the folder .adobe-digital-editions and delete it.
3. Open Adobe Digital Editions. You should see the Device Setup Assistance dialog. Click the Authorize Device button.
Once you have completed the steps above, please transfer the title again by dragging and dropping it on the device icon in the library view of Adobe Digital Editions. The transferred Adobe eBook title will be located in the 'My Documents' section on the Nook. If you are using a NOOKColor, transferred titles will be located in the 'My Files > Digital Editions' section.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rave

I installed Adobe Digital Edition on my Mac and when I try to open an ePub showing in the library, Adobe Digital Edition shuts down.

I tried re-installing the software but it continues to shut down when I open the ePub. Is there something else I can try?

How to add DRM protection to an EPUB so it can only be read with Adobe Digital Editions?

I wish to add DRM protection to our EPUBS and PDF's so that they can only be read using Adobe Digital Editions, so that we can control licensing.

Hi John,
At present, the only places you can buy copy-protected ebooks that are suitable for the Sony Reader are from Sony's own ebook store and from Borders.com. The books you buy from eBooks.com won't work on the Sony Reader.
Please contact our support team direct at help (at) ebooks.com, and tell them what's happened, and they'll be able to help you out.
