Can't open ACSM eBook files on Windows 8.1 tablet

Bought some eBooks from the Humble Store and I'm having real trouble opening the ACSM files on my Windows 8.1-based tablet.
OverDrive or Book Bazaar are not opening them.
Any ideas?

ZOMG! YAY! GOT IT INSTALLED!
I was just about to wipe and start over and try installing .NET 3.5 as the first thing before any updates etc... when I thought I'd do one last search.
I then found an MS article that said about doing an offline install for Win8, I took a look only to discover they referred to the DISM method. However I double checked the DISM command and it was the same as what I had been trying except for 1 thing, the
/limitaccess argument on the article was *after* the /source argument where as I had placed it before.
I mounted the Win8.1 Pro 64bit ISO again, ran DISM with the arguments in the same order as the MS article and it did its usual thing of going straight to 65.5% complete and then it stays there for a while. I was waiting for about a minute, then 2 minutes,
my hope was growing, and then I nearly shed a tear when the progress went up to 66.5% and eventually 100%.

Can't open FLA mac file on windows

I'm having trouble opening a FLA file (made on a mac
computer) on my windows computer. I use Flash 8 and when I open the
file there's a message saying "unexpected file format". The file
was also made on Flash 8, so I don't think it's a version problem.
Thanks in advance.

The problem is with the document, not the program.You can try to open the file in Preview and print from there. Otherwise, you will need to contact the creator of the document for a new version of the file.

Premiere Elements 11. Can't open Project (PREL file) in Windows 8.1.

I have created Project (PREL file) in Premiere Elements 11 in Windows 7 Professional environment. I was able to open it with no problem.
Now I have Windows 8.1. When I am trying to open this project, I have a pop-up saying 'This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.'
HELP!!!!!

From what you wrote, this is my understanding.
For each of your projects, you set up a special save location for the project file (project.prel) and the source media that go into that particular project.
If you have 12 projects, for each, you have a special save location (the project.file source media combo.)
Each of those 12 projects needs to be exported to a file saved to the computer hard drive. One suggestion might be is to save the export from each into a saved location name Grand Project Source Media.
It is these 12 exports that are going to be imported into the Grand Final product which will be outputted as wanted. At this point, those exports are your source media that needs to stay in contact with the grand projects. The source media that went into the individual 12 projects are out of the equation at this point.
But, back to the point that I was trying to get at. Each of those 12 projects that you start with has to have project settings (aka project preset). And, those project settings should match the properties of whatever you are putting on the Timeline of the each project. The project settings direct the program to set the right space in the Edit area monitor for editing so that you do not have black borders, pixel aspect ratio problems, and the like. So, I want to make sure that you have the right project settings for each project.
Then you need to export the TImeline content from each of those projects. Ideally the export settings should be consistent with the source media properties and the project settings. The ideal is to have this to be the case for all 12 projects. Cannot advise you about these settings without details...
What is the project preset for the 12 starting project...NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or something else?
If that is your project preset, what are your source media 1080i30, 1080p30, or something else?
I am suspecting that each individual project will be exported to a HD export 1920 x 1080 which might be a Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets set to maybe a .m2t file, maybe .mp4 file. It is all going to depend on a coordinated plan.
If you still have questions and need clarification about the above, do not hesitate to ask. I will explain another way if necessary.
Thank you.

I have a new macbook and downloaded the firefox browser but i can't open the .dmg file. Window pops up saying not recognized.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

I can't open my ebooks which are in PDF

I bought $350 worth of ebooks from ebooks.com so I could read them on my bebook (mybebook.com) and the files don't open on my bebook, so I tried to open them on my computer so I could convert them to another format, but my computer can't open the files. This is what happens:
1) A window comes up that says: This document can't be opened because it's ownership hasn't been established on this computer. But I bought the books on this computer! There are two choices that I can click: 1) I own it and copied it to this computer or restored it from a backup and 2) Someone else gave it to me and I would like to own it. I click number one and then click on a button that says "establish ownership".
2) Then another window comes up that says: You will now be taken to the adobe DRM activator website where you will get instructions on how to reactivate your Acrobat or Adobe reader to allow for sharing and restoring of documents. You must be connected to the internet for this. If not, cancel and try again later.
3) So I click OK and am taken to an Adobe page that says:
Here's the problem and how to solve it:
You have tried to open an Digital Edition that was downloaded to another computer. You can open such a document on two computers only when you have activated Adobe Reader or Acrobat on both computers using the same Microsoft .NET Passport or Adobe ID.
Problem: This computer and the computer to which the document was downloaded were activated using different .NET Passports or Adobe IDs.
Solution: Return to the retailer, library, or other location where you acquired the document and obtain permission to open it on this computer.
I wrote ebooks.com and told them what was going on also, but I don't know if they will be able to help me because I downloaded the books to this computer.
Does anyone know what I can do to be able to open these PDF files?
Thanks,
Kyle Pounds

David,
I have tried with Adobe myself but to no avail. They are inconsiderate, and just downright rude and will not support the issues. They claim it's because it's a free product.
I am forced to keep an old computer for all of the books that I brought only because they will not open anywhere else. I have seen alot of crap on the internet about how to conver them but none seem to be easy or successful. I have alot of ebooks that just will not open anywhere else but that one pc. I have tried just about everything. I wish there was an easy hack to this issue. I hate adobe. I can't wait until there is some kind of law suit against them. I will definately take part in every way I can. Sorry for not having any better info on this.

Subject: I can't open my ebooks which are in PDF
I'm having the same problem and I'm in my third iteration with Adobe Tech Support via e-mail. They couldn't fix it and sent me to this forum to see if anyone else had fixed the problem themselves.
So does anyone have a solution yet? Can these files be converted to regular pdf files that don't require Digital Editions? It's a nice interface but the program doesn't work correctly.
Adobe's Digital Editions now prevents me from reading 4 out of 7 of my e-books. Moreover, I can't believe there's no one at Adobe that can fix this problem. Just as surprising is how little they seem to care.
I would appreciate some help if anyone has an answer. This is really disheartening.
Thanks in advance,
David

I can only open 1 .Ai file at a time from explorer

Okay. Googling is getting me nowhere and posting this is a last resort.
computer is running:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
Creative Suite 5.5
Illustrator 5.1
The problem is:
From within Windows Explorer, I can only open 1 Illustrator file at a time. To get a different file to open, I either have to drag and drop the second file into the tabs under the menubar, or I need to quit Illustrator and re-open it. Also, I can not open additional files from Explorer one-at-a-time if one is already open.
Quirks:
If I go to File -> Open I can select multiple files from within the Open File dialogue window and they open just fine. but i can't do it from within windows explorer. This used to work and now it doesn't and I have no idea why. Can anyone help me out?
Seriously? 137 views and no replies? No one has run into this before?

This is a long shot but try going to Preferences/Type and uncheck "Show Font Names in English".
Quit illustrator and restart, does it work now?
The reason I´m suggesting this is that unless I have this box unchecked, some internal function in illustrator crashes after I´ve opened one document and I have to quit & restart if I wan´t to open another one. A rather silly bug and I stumpled upon the solution by accident after cursing illustrator for a couple of months...

I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

I can't open a pdf file.

My computer was working fine until about 2-3 weeks ago. Suddenly I could no longer open a PDF file. I had Adobe Reader installed and all was good. I asked our IT guy and he suggested downloading Adobe Reader again. I did this and still get the error message. Then I had a friend to tell me to uninstall and reinstall. That did not work either. The error message looks like this:
Fill conversion - document name.pdf
Select the encoding that makes your document readable.
Text coding (then 3 options)
Windows (default) MS-DOS Other encoding
Then there is a pop-up window within the error message with all kinds of options.
Help!
Thank you!

Good afternoon Pat,
It apparently has been a problem for three days of the supplier, that redirected bad was sending us documents. Thanks for your support and I hope they have fixed it.

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).

In the "Browse window" go to C/Program files [or Program Files (x86)]/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader
Select "AcroRd32.exe" and click "Open"

Can't open NEF raw files in Elements 12.1 from my Nikon D610.

I have the trial version of Elements 12 and updateed to 12.1. The Camera Raw version is 8.4 and I'm running a Windows 7 computer. Then I try to open NEF files do I get the error message that my Camera is not supported. I tried to install the DNG converter ver 8.3 but that dosen't recognize the NEF files either. Elements opens the NEF files from my Nikon D5100 without problems and so does the DNG converter. I have tried both 12 bit and 14 bit NEF files from the D610 with no luck.
As I understand it so should Elements 12 with Camera Raw 8.4 support Nikon D610. I hope I get get this to work so that I can update to ver 12 from ver 9 that I use today.
Best regards
Daniel

Yes I used Nikon Transfer NX that came with my Nikon D5100. I downloaded the NEF file directly from the SD card to my hard drive and now can I open the NEF file in Elements. I guess I need to update Nikon Transfer NX with the version I got with the D610.
Thanks 99jon for the quick reply and for solving my problem

I can't open the psd file I did yesterday! It says that the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop.

I can't open the psd file I did yesterday! It says that the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop. I worked in a CS6 version but also tried opening in a CC but nothing happens. Help
more info:
Photoshop never crashed or anything.
I was working in my school's mac but running windows, and the file was being saved in the school's network not on the computer. I thought it had been saved and I also copy and pasted the file in my hard drive to guarantee a copy but none of the are opening.
The file size was appox. 1giga
Thanks a lot

The problem was saving over the network. Working across a network is not supported.
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Can we open Solidworks 2009 files with Acrobat 9 pro extended

Hello,
I'm testing Acrobat 9.0.0 Pro extended and I can not open Solidworks 2009 files. But I can open Solidworks 2007 files. I'm on Windows XP 64 bits.
Can you tell me if this feature is corrected in newer version as 9.1 and later?
Or any other solution to be able to open the Solidworks 2009 files directly in Acrobat (without the need to open solidworks to convert the files into pdf 3D)?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, you can convert 2010 SolidWorks file to STEP or PARASOLID files sometimes
you loose some informations during those conversions then you can read those files into Acrobat then sometimes you
can loose more informations... Why Adobe doesn't update some CAD formats what's append ???
In the first post nobody whan't to answer to my question ... why ???
Is-it an Adobe forum ???
