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

When exporting Captivate 5 project as pdf, cannot open linked files (which are also pdfs)

I am a Captivate novice, using version 5 on Mac. I am thrilled that my project can be published as a pdf. Everything works great except the interactive buttons, which are supposed to open various small pdfs. I placed the linked documents in the same folder with captivate project. I used just the filename of the document as the link. I can open the links with no problem when I open the SWF from firefox, but when I try to open them from my exported PDF (with Acrobat 9 pro), no luck. This is really bumming me out, because being able to hand the customer an interactive PDF is cool. I could just duplicate the same effect in Acrobat Pro Extended, but I find the Captivate workspace much faster and easier than creating interactivity with Acrobat. Plus, it is so cool to add the audio and animated effects in Captivate. Not so easy in Acrobat. Help??!?! Thank you.

Thanks for the update! No pressure, but I'm using the trial version while I decide if Captivate will be the solution I need to create these multimedia pdfs. Is there any sort of timeframe on the resolution of the issue I posted? Should I expect to wait until Captivate 6, or should I expect an update to 5 to solve the problem? Just need to know how to move forward. I apologize in advance if I am out of line for asking timeframe questions. I'm new to support forums. I never posted before because I was always able to get answers by researching discussions. Your reply is so helpful to me because I can barely afford the $800 for Cap 5. If it can't do what I need it to do, I will save the money and stick with creating interactivity in PDFs through Acrobat's brute force (but reliable) methods...but Captivate is SO COOL...oh woe.

Using external HD, can't open up photos which are in library

HD crashed. Rebuilding using external HD running OS. For now just operating with external as my HD. Bring up iPhoto, select option, choose library on the external where the photos are, but iPhoto says there are no photos. I have checked around in the library and the photos are definitely there. Any thoughts?

Jeffrey:
It sounds like the database file, Library6.iPHoto, has been damaged. Check the size of that file. If it's very small than iPhoto created a new one that contains no photos even though they are save in the Originals folder. If that's the case your only option is to create a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library folder. This will give you the same rolls as the old library although some may have a different roll date.
You can try rebuilding the library, selecting all of the options, to see if that will bring them back but it's not been very successful for others. But worth a try.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Can't open recovered files, which are now Unix Executable Files

My external hard drive, where I kept my Final Cut Pro documents, recently died. I hired someone to recover the data. Now, when I try to open them in FCP 6, however, I get the message "File Error: Wrong Type". It says they are "Unix Executable Files". Looking back in this forum, none of the previous solutions have worked for me--like adding .mov to the file extensions, for example.

ah, the subtle difference between a movie or media file and a project file.
Thanks for posting your solution, hardly anyone ever does that around here. And congrats on the rescue! We rarely hear of a successful data recovery on media files but this was a data drive, yes? You could help future users who suffer catastrophic drive failures by posting your contractor and the cost if you want to share that information.

I am getting a message "can't open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported" What do I do about these programs?

I am getting a message "can't open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." What do I do about these programs?

In defense of the original poster, I just went through the Lion page (http://www.apple.com/macosx/) and the sub-pages linked on the top (including the 250 new features) and nowhere does it say anything about dropping Rosetta/PowerPC compatibility. A simple compatibility line in the tech specs page could help these kinds of threads. Nevertheless, the argument that Apple should have made this change more prominent is quite valid IMO.
Remember that Apple prides itself on being simple so don't expect everyone to be as up to date on compatibility issues as you. With the big uptake of new users in the last couple of years, these kind of questions should be expected, especially since most users are coming from Windows where compatibility is king (I can run apps from 10+ years ago with almost no issues).
Complicating the issue further is that there is no obvious way to see which older applications are PPC and which are not (who knew Warcraft 3 was PPC and not universal??).
A simple solution could be for Apple to provide copy of Rosetta that users can purchase if they want compatibility. Who knows, maybe such a solution is going to come from a third party

How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

Hi flaviusjack,
If you still have the .doc files, it might be best to send those to your recipients so they can be edited. Otherwise, you can use ExportPDF to convert the PDF files back to .doc format. But, again, that step would be unnecessary if you have the .doc files.
Best,

Can't open my ebook (VE error 59)!

When I'm trying to open my ebook (bought from amazon) I just can't add it to the Library.
Only this message shows up:
Adobe DRM Error
System: 8
State: 4
Code: 59
Class: 1
Message: VE error 59

Where is the DRM key stored?
My three-year-old PC developed some intermittent problems so I reformatted my hard drive and re-installed Windows and all my other software. I activated Acrobat Reader using the same NET passport as previously, but my ebooks are now unreadable! The system reports that I am using a different machine.
Adobe Support reset my activation account and I then re-activated Acrobat Reader. This did not fix the problem.
Before wiping my hard drive, I made a disk image of my previous installation. I am able to re-install this image and copy any file or registry entry which I require. Somewhere within this backup must be the DRM key which enabled me to read my ebooks. If I can locate it, I can copy it to my new installation and fix the problem.
Does anyone know where this file is located?

How can i restore the files which are important to me which i suddenly delete the files in download?

i nid to restore the file which i suddenly delete in download.. i was about to delete the files which are not important but i suddenly delete the files which are important... how can i restore it??

Check the Windows recycle bin, you may be able to recover the files from there. Right-click on the recycle bin icon on the desktop and select Open. This will open Explorer, if the files are listed there, right-click on them and choose Restore.
If the files are not in the recycle bin, you can try a file recovery utility such as recuva - http://www.piriform.com/recuva
