Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.3 Released

Especially since it now supports Fixed Layout EPUB3, it's important to get updates to Adobe Digital Editions for testing. A new version has been updated here:

Can no longer see my purchased books in Adobe Digital Edition software

Because my purchased books are no longer listed on my Adobe Digital Edition software, they can no longer be downloaded into my E-Reader (due to Rights protection). I do not understand why they disappeared from the Purchased list. I would like Adobe to Re-install into my purchased list all my purchased books. Would like some help with that.

Very nice device the PRS-350, my wife and I both have them.
Not exactly sure how much you have updated, so some of these comments may not be to the point ....
Copying to the Sony should have worked as long as it is still registered with the ID used when you bought the books.
Maybe the Sony lost its registration when you did Sony updates, and you need to reregister it?
Nothing will work with a different ID; you can change the email address assocated with the old ID,
but can't read books with a device registered with a different ID or transer them to a new ID.
Probably when you updated your software ADE lost its repository.
Adobe does not remember your books in any 'cloud' associated with your ID,
the ID is just used to unlock the files you still have that are associated with the ID.
Try opening the books on the USB on ADE (ctrl-O, menu/File/Add to Library).
They should then appear again in the ADE library and you should be able to copy to the Sony (assuming registrations all correct).
Or, if you want the books always available on the computer even without the USB,
copy from USB to computer, then use ADE to open the copies on the computer.
If ADE won't read the books either it is probably not correctly registered (with the original ID).
One possibility is that ADE got confused about registration when you reinstalled (it often does).
See ***1 note at end.
Also, there is a bug in ADE2.0/2.0.1 that means they Sony devices won't work with library books on that ADE release.
If you want to use library books, use the older more reliable version of ADE.
See ***2.
Good luck.

Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0

There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

I have a Kobo N416 E-Reader. It is no longer supported by Kobo and is outdated. I was told that I can use Adobe Digital Editions Desktop App to download book to this Kobo N416 E-Reader . How do I do this ? Thanks

Question; How do I download Ebooks to my Kobo N416 e-reader using Adobe Digital Editions App ? I have already tried to get help from Kobo Techs but they say the Kobo N416 E-Reader is no longer supported by Kobo and is outdated. Kobo told me to use Adobe Digital Editions to download the books I bought on Kobo to my Kobo N416 E-Reader. I have already contacted Adobe Digital Editions for help but they could not help me and told me to go to Adobe Forums.

I didnt't say that our business is using Linux Desktops. I wrote, our main clientele is. And what our customers do like to use is something we cannot control...
>What difference does it make to you if Adobe releases a new version of Reader that is not supported on Linux?
a new Adobe Reader version that's supported on Linux would be nice. a dialogue between Adobe and Linux developers would be nice...
>As long as the old versions can open the files correctly, that's all that matters, no?
No, not if our staff is trained to use the newest Adobe Acrobat (trainings are usually for the newest versions) and uses that to produce forms. Now the files open correctly. But what will be in some months or years? Do people working on Linux do have to print the forms then again to fill in?
So do you recommend that we stop the process of producing electronic forms and stay with paper-fill-in forms? Is that the goal of Adobe? (maybe not so clever for your "financial viability"?!?!? ... ein schuss ins eigene bein?!?!)
>Adobe is a public company and therefore it's not going to maintain a version of its software at great cost if it's not financially viable. It's as simple as that...
So it is to be interpreted that Adobe is interested in killing Linux cause if users cannot work with let's say forms, they will have to switch to something that can do that for them...
We definitely don't want to force Windows or Mac on our clientele. So as far as I get it, we will go back to paper forms and terminate our licence agreements with Adobe and deinstall it...

Adobe Digital Editions 4.0 crashes each time I try to move a library ebook to my kobo ereader

I am using Mac OS X 10.9.5. I installed ADE 4.0 and was able to use the ascm file from my local library to download a library book to ADE 4.0 bookshelf. ADE recognizes my Kobo eReader, but when I drag the book to the eReader, ADE first tells me it is copying the file to the eReader, then it promptly crashes and gives a long error (pasted below). I tried this on my laptop too, which uses Mac OS X 10.7.5, also with ADE 4.0. Exact same thing happens.
I have no idea what's going on. Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried plugging the eReader in at different times (when ADE is launched, and before it launches), with no change in the error.
Any help will be appreciated!

How to download adobe digital editions to my iPad?

How do I download books in adobe digital editions from my computer to my iPad?

Adobe Reader only reads PDF files and has nothing to do with Adobe Digital Editions. Adobe has not released ADE for an iPad.
You should go to the Apple Store on your iPad and download iBooks from Apple. It does a great job of reading EPUB files.

How can I copy text in Adobe Digital Editions?

How can I copy text in Adobe Digital Editions for an eBook that I have purchased?

Adobe apps can be reset to their factory defaults by using Ctrl+Alt+Shift, not Del. The rest doesn't really make any sense since you did not provide any details and authorizations can't be changed that way, anyway. If you want to transfer books to other devices you need to contact the vendors to release the DRM/ provide a new download and if you want to change the registered ID, you need to contact support or create a completely new account, which in turn will require you to buy your DRM managed books again/ get a new download as well.

Indesign 2014 CC, epub3-file Ipad good, but in Adobe Digital Editions bad

From Indesign I generated an epub3-file with the latest release CC 2014. The resulting ebook is splendid on an iPad . However, to my surprise the performance in Adobe Digital Editions is very poor. The text appears far to big on the screen and can not be reduced in ADE. Is this a problem of ADE or of Indesign? Those anyone knows a solution to tackle this?

In the meantime try Readium for Chrome…
Or a Mac with OSX 9 and the iBooks app with that.

ADOBE READER Y ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS

hola a todos, he expuesto estos dos problemas en los foros "americanos" y no consigo que me solucionen las incidencias, os comento por si me podeis ayudar;
1º respecto a adobe reader, cada vez que abro un documento desaparece toda la barra superior del adobe y cada vez que paso el ratón por el documento empiezan a aparecer las pestañas poco a poco y desaparece igualmente de nuevo, ¿sabéis qué está ocurriendo?
2º y respecto al adobe digital editions no tengo forma de imprimir un documento entero con todas sus paginas, solo me permite imprimir una, con lo cual es un trabajo que no entiendo, os pregunto cómo puedo imprimir un documento completo y no una sola pagina.
gracias por vuestra atención,
(pd.- estoy registrado en adobe.com y no hay forma de que me atiendan)

a mí no porque no manejo windows, pero segurmanete a alguien le servirá, en mi caso tuve ese problema que llamas 1, pero sólo esporádicamente en una versión vieja del sistema (snow leopard) y nunca interfería en el uso del programa, más que una vez de pasarle el cursor pora arriba para que refrescara la pantalla.
en tu caso parece ser un problema del video más que del reader en sí, por el tipo de problema que describes, da la sensación de que lo que se traba es el refresh de tu pantalla, pero espero que alguno que sepa más de windows te pueda orientar, yo me fijaría lo tradicional, que tengas todos los controladores actualizados (ningun triangulo amarillo en tus control panels, ni ninguna alerta al comienzo de sesión)

Updating Adobe Digital Editions 1.7 to 3?

I work for an academic library and we have Adobe Digital Editions 1.7 installed in our faculty, staff and student computers.
I have read the new features and release notes for version 3 but
what is the biggest benefit for us as users not eBook vendors if we update to version 3?
I know the DRM scheme has been updated for version 3, but will version 1.7 still work for our users as far as downloading eBooks to their devices?
Thanks for any information.

V1.7.2 should work if 1.7.1 does. Lots of reasons for using it anyway, as 2.0 is riddled with bugs even where it does work.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Not sure if that has a version suitable for your Mac, but have a look.

Adobe digital editions 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close?

When attempting to launch Adobe Digital Editions I get "adobe digital editions 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Windows XP
This product has been working until today
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling

I don't know why it has stopped ~ maybe an incompatible Windows update.
Unless you really need the (few) extra features of 2.0, you'll be much better off on 1.7.2.
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
