Start from Home - Adobe Digital Editions

It's really nice to have a forum, now dedicated to EPUB in InDesign. My first discussion we raise here is an explanatory report on Digital Editions.
So here's my first question?
The digital edition can be considered the simplest platform lietura and thus use it to base it on the performance of a simple epub?
The adobe digital edition supports Epub book Flow 2.0 and 3.0?

Adobe Digital Editions does not support EPUB 3 completely. There are known issues with groups not showing up properly, video not showing up, issues with image exported with "Use Original Image" option checked and so on.
As Steve suggested, the best solution is to use Readium on Chrome or iBooks.

Pooja

I have Adobe Digital Editions Library and need to transfer some books out of one computer to another?

I recently got a macbook air and want to transfer some books from my Adobe Digital Edition Library that is on my Apple iMac onto my new Macbook Air. Anyone know how to do this?

Hi pamilafaye,
I've moved your question from the Acrobat.com forum to the Adobe Digital Editions forum, as you're more likely to find someone to answer your question here.

Activating Adobe Digital Editions with my ID

It has been several years since I first started to use Adobe Digital Editions. I'm almost certain that I started with an ID immediately, but I need to figure out whether I activated the computer with an ID because I would like to purchase a book and read it on more than one machine. According to this http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-editions/faq.html , books that are are purchased are available on more than one computer. Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks!

How do I sign into adobe digital editions to read a book purchased from kobo for my iPad

How do I sign into adobe digital editions to start reading a book purchased from kobo for my iPad ?

Adobe Digital Editions is not available for an iPad. It's only on Macintosh and Windows platforms.

Downloaded books while on vacation, now can't use Adobe Digital Editions at home

I took my Kobo on vakay with me and it was awesome. Except, now that I'm back home my Adobe Digital Editions won't let me transfer new books I buy from online onto my Kobo.
So, what do I do? I have a Mac OS X 10.4

There's not enough information here (ie the specific error message you get when you try to open up a book), to really say what's going on.
I would suggest that you open up a support case ( http://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions and click on "Submit a web case" ), as you can give them more information over email, than you probably want to give out on an open forum.

I already have adobe digital editions on my mac pc and download books from the library to my android e-reader. Can I use the same digital editions on my ipad air, or do I need to load a different one onto my ipad?

How can I properly and COMPLETELY uninstall Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 from my Mac?

OK, so yeah, I *SHOULD* have known better...
A few months back, against my better judgement and without doing the proper due diligence, I tried installing Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 onto the primary drive of my MacBook Pro (running MacOS 10.6.8).
The tell-tail signs:
PROBLEM #1
While there IS readily available "Tech Specs" documentation for the current Adobe Digital Editions v4.0.1 installer for MacOS (which clearly states "Mac OS X v10.8 or later" is REQUIRED), there is absolutely NO indication or similar documentation for supported system software for PREVIOUS versions of Adobe Digital Editions.
Reference URL:
http://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/downloads.html
PROBLEM #2a
Adobe Digital Editions v3.0 for MacOS comes as an installer (which REQUIRES admin authentication to provide root-level access to your computer).
PROBLEM #2b
Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0 Installer" is FULLY launchable under MacOS 10.6.8 (and the installed application will require MacOS 10.7 or later).
PROBLEM #2c
There is NO associated ("ReadMe" type) support document included on the "ADE_3.0_Installer.dmg" disc image and ZERO integrated documentation within in the installer.
PROBLEM #2d
There is NO Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0" UNinstaller either installed as part of the "Standard" installation package OR currently downloadable from Adobe.com.
PROBLEM #3
Adobe's ONLY MacOS solution to "Uninstall previous versions [prior to the current v4.0] of Adobe Digital Editions for Mac OS" are the following instructions:
It's necessary to have administrator privileges to complete these steps.
1. From your user directory, locate /Applications
2. Drag the digitaleditions1x5 folder to the Trash, and empty the Trash.
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
PROBLEM #4
Adobe's "What are my contact options?" page indicates BOTH "Chat (within 90 days of registration)" and "Forums" as available "Basic Support" options for Adobe "Digital Editions" software for "Download, install, setup" help, however, "Forums" is the ONLY available choice under "Contact options" for on Adobe's "Contact Customer Care" page (for "Download, install, setup" help with Digital Editions).
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?step=ADE_downloading-installing-setting-up_s tillNeedHelp
PROBLEM #5
The ONLY available "Basic Support" option for "How-to's & troubleshooting" help is the Adobe Forums...and this is an example of the type nonsense response (then followed by NON-response) that one might receive there:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6570142
[NOTE: After MUCH searching I did, however, manage to find a potentially interesting "Let us know how we’re doing" link (under the "Our support promise" link found on the "What are my contact options? page). I am going to send them a brief message along with a link to THIS post and hope for the best.]
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/what-contact-options.html
PROBLEM #6
While I did NOT realize this prior to my attempting to install Adobe Digital Editions, apparently it would require me to "activate" my computer with an Adobe ID.
[NOTE: This information IS included in the readily accessible FAQ (and I am sure it's also found in the installer integrated software "License"), however, this is a MAJOR "feature" of this software and could be presented MUCH more prominently as an installer integrated "ReadMe" screen.]
Reference URL:
http://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/faq.html
...and, as an added bonus, there is a SIGNIFICANT "spyware" issue with this software discussed in further depth here:
http://the-digital-reader.com/2014/10/06/adobe-spying-users-collecting-data-eboo k-libraries/
As an experienced and life-long Mac user, I really SHOULD have known better and I did have second thoughts almost immediately, but by then it was TOO LATE!!!
So, now I have this TOTAL crap, super duper DRM software that required root-level permission to install (AND I couldn't even run this installed v3.0 copy under my preferred MacOS 10.6.8 if I wanted to...but, of course, I now have ABSOLUTELY NO desire to ever use this software again), and I just want to COMPLETELY remove all traces of it from my computer!
A pretty thorough Google search yielded several so-called "solutions" that were as bad or EVEN worse than the very limited "official" resources found directly from Adobe!
Any actual, real working solutions would be VERY greatly appreciated!
Thank you SO MUCH for your time and consideration in reading!!!
Sincerely,
aadams77

Hmm, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I searched my entire drive for "digital editions", and this is the whole thing:
/Applications/Adobe Digital Editions 3.0.app
/Users/user/Library/Caches/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app
/Users/user/Documents/Digital Editions
/Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.bom
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.DigitalEditions.plist
The application itself, three small files scattered in your user account, to unimportant installation receipt files, and another preference file in the root Library folder. Removing those should remove everything related to version 3, which is what I have installed.
Where I substituted "user" above (for the three entries of /Users/user/...), replace that with whatever the actual name of your user account is.
Edit: I double checked the installer using a small app that sorts out every file in an installer, and where each item would normally be installed. The main app is literally the only item in the installer. The receipts are created by the OS per the installer's data, and the other minor preference files are created when the app is first run. There is nothing else.

Is it possible to save or export an e-book chapter from Adobe Digital Editions? Is it possible to export or save from Adobe Digital Editions to an Adobe pdf?

Is it possible to save or export an e-book chapter from Adobe Digital Editions? Is it possible to export or save from Adobe Digital Editions to an Adobe pdf?

I hope you won't see this as rude, but what you are missing is the obvious point that Adobe are in business to make money. So they put as little in Adobe Reader as they can, so people are motivated to buy stuff. Every development intended for Reader has severe limitations on feasibility and techniques for this reason; it's a huge (but very common) mistake to just develop for Acrobat and assume Reader will follow.

Please how can I print out my book from the laptop I have adobe digital edition and the print is faded

Sorry but I can not print from Adobe Digital edition. I bought and down loaded a book and now can not seem to print as the print request is faded out. Can someone help me thanks

Hi Cherin,
Printing a phone book (or an 'Address Book" as ontacts Help refers to it) is done directly from Contacts, and does not involve Pages. Details are available in Contacts' Help files. Try searching 'print phone book' (without the quotes).
Your question will be better served in the Mail & Contactssection of the Mac OS & System Software community.When reposting there, be sure to describe the snags you've run into so that people responding can oncentrate on those without having to repeat what you already know.
Regards,
Barry

Is the Adobe Digital Edition (e-reader from the library) compatible with Adobe Reader X

I have Adobe Reader X on my computer, and recently downloaded the Adobe Digital Edition so that I can read books from the library. However, when I attempt to download a book, the Adobe Reader X opens, and I get the message....
XXXX book could not be opened because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't properly decoded). Any idea what is going on and how I can correct this issue?
Any responses are appreciated...

Hi, Char.
Since your question doesn't relate to our CreatePDF service, I'm moving your question to the Adobe Reader forum.

Ebooks from Sony PC Reader to Adobe Digital Editions

I have a Sony PRS-T1. I also have Adobe Digital Editions installed on my computer. My Husband has a Kobo. When I purchase ebooks from various book stores they are automatically put into Sony PC Reader. When my husband wants ro read these books, I add them to ADE and then drop them onto his ereader (which appears as a book shelf). Recently when I have done this he has been unable to open the ebook on his device. Now I am noticing that when I try to put the ebook onto ADE, it gives me an error message that the "document is licensed for a different device". How do I fix this?
My understanding is that I can add the book to up to 6 devices, I am just trying to add it to a second device, and this has worked perfectly in the past????
Is there any way to avoid using Sony PC Reader ( I don't like it) and just use ADE to up load ebooks from the retailer and then to my Sony and the Kobo???

Unfortunately, the error comes from ADE reading the ID file of the ebooks
and then comparing it to the current ID. That's the only time the error is
generated. And it's possible that something has screwed up due to a change
that seemed unrelated.
Let's take this a step further.
If something 'changed' recently, did you log into the Sony Reader Store in
that time frame? Sony has updated their software, and that can occur
without you seeing anything happening.
Have you been able to open any of the affected ebooks before? Where did
you download them from - and if it was Sony Reader Store, did you put them
into the Reader library?
Did you know that Sony tells us the PRS-T1 is not supported under ADE,
while ADE says it is? I don't know how to rectify that.
Did you register the T1 with Sony using your current Adobe ID? (you
probably did but I had to ask)
Often, I forget a detail that, when I remember it, gives me the key to the
answer. I've been doing that for a number of years, but my wife doesn't
give me credit for any of them.

Download and install Adobe Reader XI.
Launch Adobe Reader XI and open a PDF file.

Unable to access Adobe Digital Editions from my tablet

I recently installed Adobe Digital Editions on my pc to enable me to downloan an eBook from a publisher. I now wish to download the same eBook onto my Samsung tablet, but do not know how to install the Adobe ID onto that tablet. Any advice? Stuart208

You need to install a compatible third party app that can read Adobe drm books.
Try Bluefire or Aldiko. http://www.bluefirereader.com/ http://www.aldiko.com/
You then transfer the book by copying using a file manager (eg Windows Explorer, Mac Finder) to the mounted drive.
(With dedicated eReader devices you can usually transfer from ADE, but not with tablet devices with eReader app)
