Trouble opening library PDF book with Adobe Touch - help???

In trying to open a library book (PDF format) on my new Windows8 Tablet, using Adobe Touch, I get a message saying, 'There are features in this file that are not supported by this program.' It doesn't allow me to open it anyway. It seems there must be a way to do this Does anyone know what it is?

Library eBooks are not regular PDF files. They are protected by the Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology.
Unfortunately, Adobe Reader Touch (or Reader for iOS/Android) does not support DRM-protected PDF files.
You may want to try OverDrive Media Console for Windows. According to the tech spec, the application is compatible with Windows 8 and RT.

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue?

Thank you! That seemed to do the trick. Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

How do I open a PDF file with Adobe Reader if it is in iBooks

I have a number of PDF files in my iBooks library. I just downloaded Adobe Reader for the iPad. I can't see how I can open those PDF files. The only thing I seem to be able to do with them is to open them from iBooks directly. Doing that does not provide me with the features that Adobe Reader would provide (such as searching for particular text, etc.).

Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows). Go up one level in your computer hierarchy and you'll see all the "Books" (PDFs and eBooks) in iBooks. You can leave them here if you want to view the PDFs in iBooks in the future, or drag them to the Desktop.
To move the PDF TO Adobe Reader:
Return to iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left in Devices. Click on the Apps tab. Scroll down the the File Sharing section as shown below. Click on Adobe Reader. Click the Add button and select the PDFs you identified in the previous step. They'll be added to Adobe Reader

Can't open any PDF file with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

I have tried to open multiple Acrobat files but none will open. I get a FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server." I've created documents in word and publisher and am able to convert to pdf format but after the pdf file has been created I cannot open to view and I get the error message. Please help! Thank you!

No I am thinking that the problem is with Acrobat XI Pro. Because as previously noted I can create a Word document and save as a PDF, the PDF document will be created by Acrobat XI Pro but will not open with Acrobat XI Pro, which normally happens automatically upon creating the PDF file from say Word, Exel, Publisher, etc. When I try to open with Acrobat XI Pro it give me the FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server". Since I could not open any of my PDF documents with Acrobta XI Pro, because I had Acrobat XI Pro as my default PDF creater and reader, I installed Adobe Reader, hoping that it would allow me to view the PDF documents that I had just created with Acrobat XI Pro and it did. The problem is that I cannot open Acrobat XI Pro to creat or edit or add PDF restrictions on a PDF document straight from Acrobat XI Pro, but I can create a, say Word document, and save as a PDF file. Before installing Adobe Reader I could not open, see or edit the just created PDF file created through Word it is just now after installing Acrobat Reader.
Also worth noting.
I have been told that this same problem happened sometime ago with Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Vesion 10) and that the problem was fixed by editing something within the registry. Does anyone know anything about that? Thanks!

I can't open my pdf files with adobe reader, adobe is not default

I can't open my pdf file and when i select default program nothing happens, I try repair adobe reader, I try reinstall it, I installed older version, i try fix default programs but when I select my adobe reader nothing happens, there is still only windows media player (he is set as default). Please help me. I am already try all of those steps http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-open-pdf.html

If Reader ISN'T in the list of prpgrams to open with, click "Browse"
In the "Browse window" go to C/Program files [or Program Files (x86)]/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader
Select "AcroRd32.exe" and click "Open"
Make sure "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked and click "OK".

"Insufficient data for an image" when opening a PDF, even with Adobe Reader 11.0.06

I have extracted some pages from a large, scanned, PDF into a separate document, using a product called Nuance PDF Converter 7, and when we try to open that with Adobe Reader 11.0.06, we receive the error "Insufficient data for an image". I have read that this error was supposed to be fixed with the latest version of Adobe Reader 11, but I have installed that, and it doesn't help.

I am also having this problem, especially with scanned documents. Since I need to download scanned documents in my work this is a big problem!Sometimes I can read but not save the document, sometimes one or two of the pages will be blank from the start. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). I tried reducing the page zoom, a suggested workaround on this page: Acrobat: “Insufficient data for an image” error after updating to 10.1.4 or 9.5.2, but that did not help at all. FWIW I use a Windows 8.1 PC with 4 GB RAM. I usually download PDFs from the internet using Firefox.

Opening a PDF file with Adobe (not Preview)

The default to open a pdf document always goes to "preview", which frequently marks the file as un readable. i have to save the pdf to a folder, then go in and "Open with" adobe. How do i change the default for any document with a .pdf subscript to automatically open with Adobe?

Welcome To  Discussions Kathy216!
If these are files, that are already on the Hard Drive, click once on a pdf document to highlight it.
Press the Command + I keys, to Get Info.
Click on the ▼ Disclosure Triangle for Open with:.
Select Adobe if listed. If it is not listed, select Other..., and navigate to Adobe, and press Add.
In the Get Info window, click on Change All.
If these are pdf documents, that you are viewing on the Internet, a handy utility to use is PDF Browser Plugin.

Create a DVD with buttons to open the .pdf file with adobe Encore ?

Dear all !
I would like to create a DVD or a CD-Rom support with an interactive menu and buttons which allow us to open some files in.pdf.
It will be a conference DVD with all presentations in. pdf, contact list in .xls file, etc.
Is it possible to create such a DVD with adobe Encore ?
Thank you in advance.
Sév from France.

You could look around for "eDVD." Going back, it was being developed by Sonic, but they dropped it because of issues with Vista. About every 6 - 8 mos., some little tid-bit comes out, that the code has been bought and someone is working on it.
Also, Encore CS5 seems to have added some interactivity elements in BD, but I have only seen some bullet points, and zero details. Since Jeff did not make mention of CS5, my guess would be that the interactivity might not have been what you need - or enough details have not been released yet for any of us to know for sure. The full details will be available very soon though.
Good luck, and hope that whoever did acquire the code from Sonic IS on their way, as this is an oft requested feature.

Cannot open embedded pdf files with Adobe Reader X

When trying to open pdf files embedded as an object within MS Word or Excel (Office 2007) it comes up with the following message:
"The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."
I had no problems with AR v9.
Similarly, when I try to insert a pdf file as an object it comes up with exactly the same message.

Sure.
In Reader X:
Edit->Preferences->General->uncheck "Enable Protected Mode At Start Up"
