How to open PDF ebooks on a computer

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

What is your operating system?  Reader version?
Can you open such a PDF in a text editor, then copy and paste the first few lines here in the forum?

  • IBooks:may upload a pdf ebook from my computer or, from www page link to it

    iBooks App
    =========
    In this App may upload a pdf ebook from my computer or, from www page link to it? if yes, may write inside the pdf there after?

    You can upload a PDF-file to your iPad via your computer using iTunes and you can download a PDF-file from a website and open this in iBooks.
    You cant edit the PDF inside iBooks.

  • I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. Help please

    I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. I have Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 11. All it does is open up a blank page with a white x in a black square. How can I fix this?

    Hi Pat..When I tried to run Fix It the computer pops up a screen that says this trouble shooter does not apply to this computer .The article refers to Internet Explorer 10 and Im running Internet Explorer 11. I did try to see it it would fix my problem but the registry entry does not exist on my computer (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth) I can get as far as HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer but I dont have the option to choose Main. I only have the option to choose New Window which does not open up when clicked. Internet Explorer also has no value. Is there anything else I should try?

  • How to open -pdf in a secure environment

    Opening PDF files from a secured account on Internet (e.g. telephone billing info) does not work. in Safe as the file is shown as _pdf (underscore instead of dot).  We suspect this problem started after installing CS6, but are not sure. Win 7, IE 9, Reader XI

    PDF on a regular website can be opened and downloaded. However, PDF on a secure website (https) looks normal with normal icon but double click gives screen for open / save / save as. ‘Open’ gives no result, no error message either. ‘Save’ or ‘save as’ shows screen with filename ending on _pdf, which cannot be opened or saved, no error messages either. Changing the filename into .pdf gives the same reaction: nothing happens, no error messages.
    The same files can be opened on a different PC win7, IE9, Reader XI and similar software, but without CS6.

  • How to open pdf files in browser using flex

    hi,
    my project is having a Document explorer wchich contains pdf
    files,iwant to open it in the browser.can any one tell me how to
    open pdf documents using flex programming(i tried with different
    thing like swf's but my client wants only pdf formatt).

    Another option is by calling a JSP page. This example will
    open a pdf file into a new browser without displaying the download
    "save" prompt.
    Function to call the JSP:
    private function downloadFlyer(event:Event):void {
    var jspLink:URLRequest = new
    URLRequest("jsp/downloadpdf.jsp?fileName=Fundraiser_flyer_2008.pdf");
    navigateToURL( jspLink, "_blank" );
    JSP code:
    <%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %>
    <%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
    <%
    //Get the parameters
    String downloadFileName=request.getParameter("fileName");
    String fileName = application.getRealPath("/downloads/" +
    downloadFileName);
    File file = new File(fileName);
    if (!file.exists()) {
    throw new IOException("File does not exist.");
    // Get the size of the file
    long length = file.length();
    // You cannot create an array using a long type.
    // It needs to be an int type.
    // Before converting to an int type, check
    // to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
    if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
    throw new IOException("File too big.");
    response.reset();
    response.resetBuffer();
    response.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
    response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "filename=" +
    downloadFileName);
    //Prevent the Java error: "getOutputStream() has already
    been called for this response"
    out.clear();
    out = pageContext.pushBody();
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
    OutputStream output = response.getOutputStream();
    try {
    int curByte=-1;
    while( (curByte=in.read()) !=-1){
    output.write(curByte);
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
    ioe.printStackTrace(System.out);
    } finally{
    output.flush();
    in.close();
    response.flushBuffer();
    %>

    Hi Ram,
    Following information might help you to resolve the issue.
    After logging into Desktop Intelligence, you may be presented with a message stating:
    u201CYou have received 1 document from users"
    Examining the Inbox from within the Desktop Intelligence client shows no objects visible in your Inbox.
    The object in your Inbox is in a format other than Desktop Intelligence format such as, PDF, XLS or other format. Therefore the object is not recognized by the Desktop Intelligence client inbox browser.
    Log in to Info View or the Central Management Console, browse to your Inbox and verify the file name and format that has been sent to your Inbox. The object may be saved, copied, moved or deleted as necessary.
    Regards,

    Unfortunatly, most of the PDF questions I have seen recently aren't simply "How do I launch another application in Windows"
    Edit: What Jeff and Dennis were getting at in their own way is that you can easily launch adobe reader to display a pdf if that is your only goal.  See: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/68A6F2A00872837E862576940059C142
    I am also quite certain you could find an ActiveX object that would just display PDFs as well.

  • How To Open PDF Attached file use CLIENT_HOST 11 g forms

    How to open pdf file on client side at 11 g forms ?
    when i open any attached (PDF )file on client side is not open those file open on server side plz guide me how to  open those file on client machine using client host?
    thanks

    Where is the pdf you are trying to open? Is it on the server or the client? If the file is stored on the server then you can access it using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT assuming it is stored in a place that has a virtual mapping. For example:
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('http://server/someLocation/file.pdf','_blank');If the file is on the client then you need to configure your application to use WebUtil. Then you can do what Francois suggested.

  • How to open a CS5 file on computer without photoshop?

    I tried saving files as PDF and JPG but when I try to open the documents on a computer without photoshop (a windows version), they will not open. Isn't there some generic form of PDF or JPG files that can be opened on all computers?
    I only see "save as Photoshop PDF" or "JPEG". Even the regular JPEG option still needs photoshop in order for it to open. Is there a plain PDF option?
    Someone help please! Respond on here or <<private email is discouraged>>.

    Edit: I tried saving files as PDF and JPG but when I try to open the documents on a computer without photoshop (a windows version)
    Both PDF and JPG should meet those requirements anyway.
    The PDF should be able to be opened with Acrobat Reader at the least (maybe you should check if it is the current version).
    You could try using File > Save for Web & Devices to create a smaller JPG, though.

    How does one open PDF files when using Safari

    Typically, you click on a link to a pdf file, and they open. If for some reason that's not working, you can right click on the link and download the file, then it should open in Preview, or Adobe Reader if you've installed that.
    What exactly are you trying to open, and what's happening when you try it?
