Adobe Digital Editions Errors trying to open a PDF

We never had to open this file up on any of the machines that had Adobe 8 and now we get this error after installing the Digital Editions. We have tried it on two machines so I have no idea what the problem is.
Adobe DRM Error
System: 8
State: 4
Class: 65603
Code: 147
Any help would be apperciated.

This user contacted me through the digitaleditions mailing list and was handled. For all DRM issues, we recommend that you go to the Digital Editions support center and log a web-support case. The center is at

  • I have downloaded adobe digital editions but can't open or launch the program

    I have downloaded Adobe Digital editions but can't open or launch the program.

    What operating system.
    If Vista, read http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/installing-digital-editions-20-windows.html
    If XP, quite a few people have problems.  One resolution is to install the older 1.7.2 version instead (which also avoids various other bugs).
    Version 1.7.2 is a little difficult to find,
    I found it for PC at http://www.tucows.com/preview/853736/Adobe-Digital-Edition-For-EBooks
    I'm not sure where there is a Mac version.

  • I can not get adobe digital editions 2.0 to open on my pc.now i cant drop new books on ebook

    i can not get adobe digital editions 2.0 to open on my pc.now i cant drop new books on ebook

    Are these DRM books, or DRM-free.  If DRM-free, use the free and far superior Calibre ( http://calibre-ebook.com/)
    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.

  • Downloaded document cannot be opened in Adobe Digital Editions, error is #2038

    I have downloaded a document for Adobe Digital Editions, but it cannot be opened, error is # 2038, what to be done ??

    Hi minczel,
    The #2038 error indicates that ADE cannot get to Activation server. This generally happens because of either system or application level firewalls disallow access to the Adobe activation site (http://adeactivate.adobe.com/adept/)
    Try disabling the firewall and check.
    You might also want to refer to the solution mentioned in the thread : Error # 2038

  • Adobe digital editions keeps trying to install itself,

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit, my OS is a fresh install (3 weeks old). At random times during computer use, adobe digital editions attempts to install itself (even though it is already installed) and then multiple error messages spawn saying 'an instance of adobe editions 4.02 installer is already running'. Sometimes this will spawn 20+ error messages even if I immediately hit the cancel button on the installer.
    I've gone through my entire computer and deleted every instance of the editions installer exe, checked my startup in msconfig, ran malwarebytes; spybot; security essentials; emptied temporary files; uninstalled digital editions and tried installing using the prompt.
    The prompt seems to occur more often after starting my computer up, sometimes I will receive a chain of 3-4 separate instances in the first 5-10 minutes of boot. But the installer does then also randomly occur during regular computer use, even when idle. This is becoming incredibly frustrating as it the installer forces my screen to itself, dragging me out of whatever program i was using at the time.
    Any help would be much appreciated, please let me know if I can provide more information in solving this stupid issue.

    Well I found my own solution, it may help you as well. When I got the install error, I opened up task manager and switched over to the 'processes' tab. I selected one of the instances of the error, right clicked and hit 'open file location'.
    This took me to the file within my windows user folder, which seemed to be some partially installed temp file. Delete that file (shift+delete) and the stupid problem should go away.

  • Adobe digital edition: error! check activation

    when downloaded a book and tried to open on Adobe digital editions, got "error! check activation" even though I provided my adobe ID for authorization.
    my computer shows as Authorized, but cannot open the book

    Have you activated Digital Editions with an Adobe ID (or a Vendor ID)?
    Go to the Help menu and select Authorization Information...
    A window will appear to display your authorization information. If your computer is not authorized, you'll need to do that before you can read any DRM-protected books. If you don't have an Adobe ID, you can create one here.

  • Adobe digital edition 2.0 not openned

    Hello All,
        In windows xp serivce pack-2, ADE 2.0 is working perfectly for few days only, but after few days ADE 2.0 is not opening. I dont know why it is not opening? Can anyone tell me reason behind this?
    If RUN>>MSCONFIG>GENERAL>DIAGNOSTIC STARTUP - LOAD BASIC DEVICES AND SERVICE ONLY > APPLY > OK and restarting the system then the ADE 2.0 is opening.
    If RUN>> MSCONFIG>GENERAL>NORMAL  STARTUP - LOAD ALL DEVICE DRIVERS AND SERVICES > APPLY > OK and restarting the system then the ADE 2.0 is NOT opening.  As you people are well aware that we cannot use the diagnostic startup since it will allow basic service and devices only.
    I have tried the following methods to overcome this issue (from internet)
    1. Uninstall Adobe Digital Editions using one of these two methods:
    Start > Programs > Adobe > Adobe Digital Editions > Uninstall
    Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs
    2. Initiate Uninstall
    3. In order to remove all remnants of Adobe Digital Editions /  Adobe Adept from the machine a "Registry Edit" will need to be  performed:
    Start > Run > Regedit
    4. Search for HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Adobe > Adept and Delete the full "Adept" folder
    5. Remove only the structures that are under the "SOFTWARE"  extensions. This will remove the Adobe ID / License and Activation Keys
    6. Clear any outstanding tasks that may be associated to Adobe  Digital Editions downloads
    C:\data\my digital editions
    C:\my documents\my digital editions
    7. Delete any documents within these folders:
    Restore > Tasks
    Restore > Failed
    8. Re-install Adobe Digital Editions
    9. I have updated Windows xp from SP2 to SP3
    The above methods didn't helped me to solve this issue. Then, i have used DIAGNOSTIC STARTUP and safe mode, it was opened, but not in normal user mode.
    Thanks,
    Mano.A

    ADE2.0 is not supported on XP below SP3 (and doesn't work very well on SP3, and is full of bugs on any OS).
    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.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • Adobe Digital Edition Errors/Troubleshooting

    When installing Adobe Digital Editions, I  received a corruption error message."
    This occurs because the installation software coming from  Adobe's Web site is unable to communicate and pass information through  your companies Firewall or PC security to save to the computer, or there  is potential that your network is "locked down" limiting the  accessibility on the PC to install or uninstall software.
    Resolution: http://www.naic.org/documents/account_manager_ADE_Install_Assistance.pdf
    "I'm having problems opening my  electronic documents."
    The Electronic documents cannot be opened by Adobe Reader,  they can only be used with Adobe Digital Editions. Be sure that Adobe  Digital Editions was successfully installed and the File type  associations are set correctly for your machine.

  • Adobe Digital Edition Error E_IO_CANNOT_OPEN

    When I clic to an url link.acsm downloded from Kobo, I have this error. In french: erreur lors de l'obtention de la licence.(Communication error with the licence server). Impossible to download the ebook. My autorisation is ok,
    I have 4.0.1.101645 version, on a pc Windows 7.

    Found the root cause:
    Digital Editions attempts to download ebook to temporary file
    Temporary file (in %TEMP%\Digital Editions) cannot be created because of permissions [1]
    Digital Editions errors out with a not very helpful "E_IO_CANNOT_OPEN" result
    Workaround:
    - Reset the NTFS permission of the Temp folder and below to include your user, for example with this approach (using %TEMP% as folder name, e.g.,
    takeown /f "%TEMP%" /r
    icacls "%TEMP%" /reset /T
    [1] The permissions for the entire Temp folder have been changed by some program, removing the user from the permission list. This may be an Adobe problem itself, as explained in this post, but has not yet been verified. Resetting the permissions makes Digital Editions work as expected, until the permissions are changed back again.

  • How can I fix Adobe Digital Editions from crashing on opening?

    I open Adobe Digital Editions it says "Verifying Documents" after a minute or so it crashes. What can I do?

    Ain't supposed to do that - and doesn't in a lot of installations.
    But let's have more information:  What computer system (Windows x or MAC)?
    What anti-virus and firewall if you're on a PC?  What version of the
    software?  Did you register with Adobe before downloading the software and
    installing it?
    All of these factors will be important to answering your question.  If
    you're a Windows person, then the anti-virus settings could be causing a
    problem.  If you didn't register with Adobe before installing the software,
    you could have problems, and so on.
    I'm looking forward to the challenge of this puzzle.
