Having a problem downloading a pdf file onto sony reader.

Process:
I have the Reader connected to the computer.
I have downloaded the books form Waterstones which went into Adobe Digital Editions.  There hasn't been a problem here.
I have opened the eBook Library, went to file, import files, my documents, Adobe Digital Editions and clicked on the book I want to put on the Reader.  The book uploads into the eBook Library.  I then Drag and drop the book on the Reader link on the left hand column.  The status rotates as if the book is being transferred however I then have an error message reading:
'To transfer this ebook, you must first authorize the reader for Adobe DRM protected content.  Do you want to authorize the reader now?'
I click yes.
I type in my Adobe Id and password as I am asked to do and click yes.
Another error occurs reading:
'Failed to authorize this PC to the eBook store.'
I can only click yes here which leaves me where I started.
If I go onto the Sony eBook store it doesn't show me the 'Register' link at the top of the page.
I had 7 ebooks on the reader since July so it was all working perfectly until 5/09/09 when i bought another 2 from Waterstones.  When I tried to put them on it deleted the first 7.  When I had the 2 new books on, the old 7 deleted and when I had the first 7 on the Reader it didn't allow me the 2 newer books I bought on 5/09/09.  Now I can't get any of the books to transfer onto the Reader.
My sister is also experiencing the exact same problem as I am having.  However when she downloads a free book from Sony, it transfers no problem, it just seems to happen with the ebooks we have paid for.  She is using the software which was supplied with the product wereas I am using an updated version.  Between the two of us, we have purchased 12 ebooks and can't get any of them to work on either Reader.
Can anyone help??

Adobe aren't much help either. What you have to do is open a web case with the Adobe support team.
I've been waiting since 25/09/09 for them to reset my account which is what you have to do to get it working again.
I know this isn't much help but its a start.
Hopefully it works for both of us if they ever reset the account.

  • Problem saving annotated PDF files with windows reader app

    It has happened to more than one of my files. After I read it, and jotted some notes on it, when I was trying to save, it tells me I couldn't. At first, l thought it was a problem of my file. However, it has happened to every file I tried. When I opened
    the file with another PDF app, it opens and saves fine.
     Is there anything I am missing that causes the problem?

    Hi,
    I just made a test using Windows Reader, it works fine without problem. For your problem, I doubt there is a problem with this app and you can try to reinstall this Reader app trough Windows Store.
    On the other hand, you can access to the link below to download the pdf file to make a test. I already made a test using this pdf file on my system, Windows 8.1 Pro. Reader app works fine:

  • Problem searching some PDF files in Acrobat Reader – Non-ASCII characters

    Acrobat Reader cannot search some .pdf files.  I have put an example document up on Scribd here.
    Any attempt to search for any word that can be clearly seen to be in the document fails with “No matches were found.”
    This example document is NOT a scanned document – words and characters can be selected.
    A hex display tool shows that the characters in a PDF document that can be successfully searched are in the ASCII/1252 range (A=0x41, etc).
    Copying and pasting characters in the example document to a hex display tool shows that the characters in the document are not in the ASCII range.
    For example the letters A to Z in the example document are in the range ‘A’ = 0xDF (decimal 223), ‘B’ = 0xDE (decimal 222), through to ‘Z’ = 0xC6 (decimal 198).
    However, characters in these non-ASCII ranges are displayed perfectly by Acrobat Reader, as can be see if the example document is opened.
    Therefore, as Acrobat Reader knows what these characters are, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to say that it should be able to search for and find them.
    Tests were performed using Acrobat Reader X v10.1.4.
    Can anyone say what this problem is?

    Hi Pat, thanks for your reply. 
    Your reference to the title of that page being 'HARNESSES' indicates that, when you view that document in Adobe Reader, you are seeing 'HARNESSES', not
    "ØßÎÒÛÍÍÛÍ".  And that the remainder of the document is similarly being displayed in readable English language.
    Yes as you say, you can search for 'ß' and get hits on 'A' (to use that as an example) in the example document.
    But the need to form a word to be searched for into whatever code mapping this is using (for example having to enter "ØßÎÒÛÍÍ" for HARNESSES - I'm not even sure how that would be entered from a keyboard) doesn't seem to be very convenient.
    Its clear the example document is using some code mapping other than ASCII / Windows-1252 (which has 'A' as 0x41).  But it is also clear that Adobe Reader knows what that mapping is, and knows to use it, as its displaying (for example) 'A' for the code 0xDF. 
    So I guess the question is - why isn't Adobe Reader's knowledge of this mapping being extended to its search input? 

  • Unable to download a pdf file. received message-problem with program with acrobat reader-103-103

    unable to download a pdf file using acrobat reader X. received message-there is a proble with program with acrobat reader 103-103.

    Download the file with your web browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome). Then attempt to open the PDF file in Reader or Acrobat.
    It may not be a real PDF file, or it may be damaged.

  • Downloading a pdf file from javascript() window does not work

    PDF download/view works fine where the link points to actual pdf file. But I have problem downloading/viewing pdf files that are loaded using javascript(), e.g. bank statements and such. When I click a link FF downloads a file which either has no extension or has a different one (not .pdf).
    Later I realized that I can manually rename the downloaded file to insert .pdf extension and open it in reader.
    How can I solve this? I don't have this problem when using IE or Chrome.
    Thanks

    Could you try a new profile?
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    If it still happens with a new and clean profile then the most likely cause is that you have security software that is blocking this JavaScript.

  • Problem with downloading a PDF file from a webserver run on Linux

    Hi,
    I've written a simple functionality that manages file attachments.
    Everything works fine (attaching, downloading, deleting) when the webserver runs on Windows.
    However when I deployed the code to the Resin webserver run on Linux and use the Win browser to connect to the app, the downloading of PDF file doesn't work (uploading and downloading of txt, doc, xls, jpg files is OK).
    The downloaded PDF file is almost twice as big as original (~28KB when original is ~12KB) and it can't be open.
    I guess it is the problem of writing to the output stream of HttpServletResponse but I can't localize the problem.
    Here is the code I use for downloading file:
    private boolean downloadFile(HttpServletResponse response, String filePath,
                   String originalFilename) {
         File file = new File(filePath);
         String contentType = URLConnection
                   .guessContentTypeFromName(originalFilename);
         // If the content type is unknown set the default value.
         if (contentType == null) {
              contentType = "application/octet-stream";
         BufferedInputStream input = null;
         BufferedOutputStream output = null;
         try {
              input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
              int contentLength = input.available();
              response.reset();
              response.setContentLength(contentLength);
              response.setContentType(contentType);
              response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; 
                           filename=\""+ originalFilename + "\"");
                output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
              int bufSize = 10000;
              byte[] buf = new byte[bufSize];
              int bytesNo = 0;               
              while ((bytesNo = input.read(buf, 0, bufSize)) != -1) {
                   output.write(buf, 0, bytesNo);
              output.flush();
              input.close();
              output.close();
         } catch (IOException e) {
              log.debug(e.getMessage());
              e.printStackTrace();
    }Can you point any problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ala

    This piece is completely wrong and doesn't work for files bigger than 10000 bytes. Replace it by
    byte[] buffer = new byte[10240]; // 10KB exactly.
    int length = 0;
    while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0) { // Read next 10KB of input to buffer.
        output.write(buffer, 0, length); // Write specified length of buffer to output.
    }Or just use output.write(input.read()) in a loop of the contentLength as you're alredy using BufferedInputStream/BufferedOutputStream.
    Another thing, the method is declared to return a boolean, but it actually doesn't? I would just let it throw an exception in case of failure instead of returning a boolean and let the calling method handle the exception.

  • Downloading website pdf files problem

    When I try to download a pdf file from a website, Internet Explorer stops working.  This happens on 4 websites that I've tried.

    Not sure what is causing this; I have no problems opening PDFs in IE11.

  • Often I cannot download a pdf file. I get a blank window. I do not havethis problem with Safari.

    On many sites I cannot open or download a pdf file. A new window opens, but it is blank. I have no trouble downloading from the same site using Safari.

    Hi anilkagda,
    Acrobat passwords are case-sensitive, so please be sure that you're entering it exactly as it was provided. If you are, you may have been given the wrong password. Your best bet would to be to go back to the person who supplied the file and ask them to verify the password.
    Good luck!
    Best,

  • Safari 3 quits as soon as I download a .pdf file

    I've just downloaded the Beta of Safari 3, running on my 12" Powerbook (10.4.10, 1.25Gb RAM, 1.5GHz processor). Now, whenever I try to download a .pdf file from any site, the browser crashes without warning or error message.
    Three questions:
    1. Anyone else having the same problem?
    2. Anyone got an answer to it?
    and, assuming the answer to (2) is 'no',
    3. How do I re-install the latest version of Safari before the Beta 3?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Right - apologies for posting the wrong forum for a start... Should have looked around and spotted the Beta forum.
    Secondly, problem now solved:
    Moved the "AdobePDFViewer.plugin" from HD>Library>Internet PlugIns to
    HD>Library>Internet PlugIns>Disabled PlugIns

  • Can i save pdf files onto playbook?

    is it possible to save pdf files onto the playbook? i tried downloading one from a website and it showed up in the active downloads from where i then opened it, but it didnt permanently save. i thought maybe the adobe reader could store it but it didnt. 
    also, is it possible to transfer and save pdf files from a pc onto playbook? 
    this was one of the major things i was hoping the playbook could do..may determine whether it's worth keeping

    It's not through the Blackberry Desktop Software that I am transferring PDFs, Word, Excel files onto the Playbook; only media synching is supported at this time by that means. I did it on my PC through Windows Explorer, ie. the normal box you open on your computer when you click on "documents" and see the contents of your computer folders. There, in the left panel if you go down you see "computer", and click on it to display sub-folders, it should show the "Playbook" if you have a good USB connection. If you click on that PlayBook icon you will then see folders of the Playbook, including documents. That's where I pasted the documents, and they were then available to read and edit on the Playbook through Word to Go, Adobe Reader, etc. 
    The problem then (which other strings discuss) is that while you can paste in a set of documents organized in folders with sub-folders, the Playbook only sees the documents as being in a single folder. They apparently will still retain their organization though I haven't checked that.
    There is no way to synchronize in the way that DataViz Documents to Go does on the smartphones, and to me that is a big omission that RIM needs to take care of soon, or more specifically DataViz who I believe RIM owns now. The technology has been there for around 10 years. On my Palm I used to synchronize documents from my PC onto my Palm, work on various documents there, then when I synched again all the changes would automatically update on the documents on my PC. The only way to do this now is manually copy back from the Playbook to the PC, which is only OK if you are just working on one document.
