Edit location of the "My Digital Editions" folder?

Is there any way to change the file path/directory location for the "MyDigital Editions" folder? I am required to put folders with my content files in a particular subfolder of "My Documents". I won't be able to use ePub docs if I can't change the folder location. Example: I need to change .../My Documents/My Digital Editions to .../My Documents/Required/My Digital Editions.

There's no way to do it from Digital Editions itself.
You can do it by making directory junction (on PC, and I'm sure Mac has something similar).
Move the directory and any files you already have from  .../My Documents/My Digital Editions to wherever you want them.
Open a command prompt
Navigate to .../My Documents.
Type mklink /d "My Digital Editions" "wherever you put the directory"
The new directory does not even need to be on the same drive.

If your .epub books are not DRM, just use the free and superior Calibre instead.

  • I would like to select the location of my "My Digital Editions" folder. How can I do so?

    The options / preferences for Adobe DIgital Eds seems quite limited. In particular, users should be able to choose the location where digital items are stored. The default arrangements throw off my document syncing. I do not want the My Digital Editions folder in My Documents. Is there currently a way to choose the location of the My Digital Editions folder? Will there be in the future? After all, it is my computer.
    Thanks, Michael

    Michael I am sorry but Adobe Digital Editions does not support a custom location for the My Digital Editions folder at this time.

  • Can i leave the adobe digital edition ID, authorized on my PC?

    Can i leave the adobe digital edition ID, authorized on my PC? Will it do someting to the PC if i leave it in authorized mode? Or must i erase it?

    Hi,
    In order to fix the problem you may follow steps as given below.
    Solution 1) 1) Open Digital Editions.
                        2) Connect the Reader
                        5) There you will find a new drive created similar to C or D drive under "My computer".
                        6) Open the Readers Drive and you will find a folder with name "adobe.digital.editions".
                        7) Delete this folder and plug off and re plug in the Reader.
                        8) Authorize Reader from the same Adobe ID which you used to Authorize Adobe Digital Editions.
    ..                  9) Now try to transfer books to your Reader
    Solution 2) Modify the manifest.xml file located in C:\Usres\Username\My Documents\My Digital Editions:
    1) Quit Digital Editions
    2) Make a backup copy of the manifest.xml (call it something like manifest.good)
    3) Open manifest.xml in notepad
    4) It will appears as one big long line of xml, and you are looking for a tag called  start at the begginning of this
        and select until you the end of the tag that looks called </de:deviceID>
    5) If you have attached more than one Reader there may be multiple of these.  Delete all of them to make sure.
    6) Save the file (manifest.xml) and quit out of notepad
    7) Ensure you have the Reader plugged in
    8) Launch Digital Editions
    9) The Device Setup Assitant should come up.
      a) Do NOT click on the "Don't ask again for this device" checkbox.
      b) Do click on the "Authorize Device" button.
    I hope this will help you.
    Regards

  • 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...

    The adobe digital edition keep on crashing when I open an epub book, what to do?

    Best is to edit in HD and export to SD.
    You need the AVCHD 1080i 25 Anamorfic.
    Or drag a clip into the New Item icon which will give you a matching sequence for your footage.

    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.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically. 
    It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
    Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

    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.

  • Getting support for the dreadful Digital Editions

    I checked out a book from my library, & returned it on the expiration date using Adobe Digital Editions (ADE).
    Then, because I wasn't done reading it, I checked it out again, (after the expiration period), and attempted to have Adobe reauthorize it.
    What happened?  ADE went into a loop for several minutes, flashing a popup so fast I couldn't read it, ultimately telling me I'm not authorized to use the book.
    Wait, I just checked it out!
    Not wanting to waste too much time on software bugs, I checked out a different book.  This time, when the library due date arrived, I let the book expire without de-authorizing it in ADE.
    I did, however, remove the book using ADE's delete book function.  Then, I went to the library.  The library crudware reported I still had the book checked out, and wouldn't let me download it.  Hunting around on my computer, I saw two 6 MB files in Adobe's Digital Editions folder:  they had the same title as the book I had previously used ADE to delete, dated when I ***first*** checked the book out from the library.  Oh, I guess ADE didn't remove the book as it reported.
    Okay, I said, "I'll buy the **!@$$ book!"  I went to Google, and I bought the book, which gives me the right to read it on my ereader.  In google, the book opened just fine--I guess Google knows how to write software--and I could sit and read the book on my computer, where I don't want to read it.  Nope, I want to read it on my Sony ereader.  That requires I use ADE.  Bummer! 
    So, I clicked the Google button to download the book.  I clicked on the book file as instructed.  Up pops a window from within the dreadful ADE:  "Document is licensed for a different user account."
    I went to Adobe's website to report a bug.  They don't seem to take bug reports on this software, or if they do, they hide it well.  Somewhere, I found a forum in which someone with similar problems told one of the 20 or so people who have previously had this problem that they should delete ADE entirely & reinstall.  I tried that.  Result?  Now, ADE doesn't do anything when I click on the book title.
    You folks at Adobe call this software?  I call it garbage.  And I know of what I speak, having 20 years of software design experience.
    If I don't have access to the book I purchased within a week, I'll also call it a small claims case, and I'll look forward to seeing you in court, where at least if I'm made to waste 3 hours there'll be someone there to respond:  a judge.

    In my opinion, I encountered a series of problems that not only look like they were caused by bad ADE software, they were caused by bad ADE software.
    I did complain to my library about not being able to check out a book that had been turned in.  They pointed the finger at the provider of their library checkout software, which I had described in my post as crudware, (and I think they also mentioned problems with ADE).  But even when my library wasn't involved, Adobe's Digital Editions didn't work right, unless you call "working right" keeping me from reading on my ereader a purchased copy of an ebook.
    After hours of digging, I found the apparent source of the problem:  my password and/or account were different at Adobe and at Sony.  How could "good" ADE software impose such an obscure requirement?
    Adobe digital rights management software is supposed to work with numerous vendors and hardware platforms, no?  Requiring the passwords or the accounts be the same at Adobe and at Sony is not good software design, (especially if it's a hidden or undocumented requirement), because it requires users to know the internals of software assumptions.  If that's good software design, then it's good car design to require one to wear a matching shirt and pants before allowing one to start one's car.  Refrigerator won't work? It's because you forgot to put in matching ice cube trays.  Washing machine not running?  It's because you put a pair of mismatched socks in it!  If Adobe requires the Sony (or Barnes & Noble) account/password to match its account/password, it should not allow one to establish an account when that is not the case, or it should report that "error" clearly. 
    Bad software requires users to perform "tricks" to get the software to perform its functions correctly.  Tricks are for magicians, not product users. Engineers should think of the "tricks" they can perform--i.e., in the design phase--to make a hardware/software experience pleasant and seamless.  For example, to buy a book in a bookstore, I
       (1) walk up to the cash register and pay for the book with cash or credit card, which authorizes me to read (and/or sell my copy of) the book. 
    In my opinion, unless and until Adobe Digital Editions can make the process of ebook buying/authorizing that pleasant and seamless, it has failed its task.  As evidence of the bad ADE software about which I complained, I point to the pages of complaints in this forum, from apparently marooned ebook owners.
    How did I ultimately "solve" the problem that didn't allow me to read the book I had purchased?  After spending hours fussing with Adobe's software, attempting to decipher its error messages, attempting to locate its documentation, (why no help pulldown, as in every other piece of Mac OSX software?), and then posting here, I gave up dealing with Adobe.  Not wanting to hassle with the small claims court suit I mentioned in my initial forum post, I contacted Google to have them rescind my purchase, which they did promptly, through a convenient link.  (How I love software that works right!)  I then contacted Sony, which spent another hour or so with me to diagnose and correct the problem, having me change my account information for Adobe and Sony, even though it certainly looked like it was Adobe digital rights management software that wouldn't let me authorize the book to my ereader.  (Thank you Sony!)
    After about 7 hours of dealing with this problem, spread over several days, I bought the book again.  In that time, I could have flown across country, bought the book, and read the book on the return flight.  Software that makes tasks harder to perform is not "good" software.

  • When I try to authorize the adobe digital edition that I downloaded it tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I am.

    I purchased some CEU courses from humankinetics.com and I was trying to download the course information. It said I had to download Adobe digital edition to read the ebooks associated with my courses. I downloaded it and I was trying to authorize it so I could run it and for some reason whether I use an Adobe ID or not it keeps telling me that I am not connected to the internet. I have checked and rechecked my connection and it is fine. Is there any way around this?

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.
