Is it possible to open several documents simultaneously in Adobe Digital Editions?

Is it possible to open several documents simultaneously in different windows in Adobe Digital Editions like Adobe Reader ?

As far as I know, it isn't.
You can run both ADE2.0 and ADE 1.7.2 at the same time, with different books open.
Also Sony Reader (free download intended for Sony eReader users, but works even without) will let you have a third book open.
~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. 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.

How do I stop Adobe Reader X from reading documents meant for Adobe Digital Editions?

I was trying to download via Sample e-Book Library, just to check if my Adobe Digital Editions was working properly.
Turns out, PDFs / Urls are interrrupted by Adobe Reader X.
Even though Adobe Reader X is unable to read it, or as it keeps telling me: "Adobe reader could not open URLLINK.acsm because it is either not a supported file type, or because the file has been damaged"
Any suggestions to how I could abort Adobe Reader X from automatically read documents meant for Adobe Digital Editions?

It's Windows 8.
Turns out the problem was acsm.files preconfigured to be opened in Adobe Reader. The solution was to right click on the file(s) in Downloads, and then reconfigure it through the option "open as/in ..."
and somehow give the correct adress, through Computer:/ C and so on, to the Adobe Digital Editions.

"E_GOOGLE_DEVICE_LIMIT_REACHED" error when trying to open an .acsm file inside Adobe Digital Editions

Good evening,
I get the above error message inside ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS. I did the following before getting this error:
a) bought three books from Google Play
b) Downloaded the three .acsm files reffering to the books from the google play online page and added them to library(in Adobe Digital Editions-ADE for abreviation from now on), without using any authorization.
c)the books opened successfully and with no problem.
d)I decided to make Adobe ID. After I made it I made authorization inside ADE and erased in the path ''C:\Users\SEA\Documents\My Digital Editions'' the three pdf files reffering to the books witch where downloaded after completing the steps b and c.
e) this was where the problem began... from there on I wasn't able to redownload the books again inside ADE so I can read them without using the browser and when I try to reopen the .acsm files(for downloading the books and making them accessible inside ADE) I get the error message ''Error getting license.License server communication problem: E_GOOGLE_DEVICE_LIMIT_REACHED'' .
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this problem?

It would help to know how you are scanning and the hardware used. There are just too many possibilities to answer your question as stated (if we even know the answer).

I am trying to transfer previously downloaded epub documents to my Nook. I downloaded ADE to my Nook but now I cant open my documents with my Adobe Username and password.

Hi bratindu,
1. To confirm Adobe Digital Editions is authorized properly, take the following steps.
In Adobe Digital Editions, from the title list view, go to the Library menu and select Authorize computer.
If ADE is authorized, move on to #2.
If ADE is not authorized, proceed through the steps to Authorize it with an Adobe ID.
2. Reset the ADE folder on the nook:
Close Adobe Digital Editions.
Connect the nook to your computer.
Under My Computer or Computer, open the drive associated with your device (likely named nook (X:) where X is the drive letter).
Locate the folder .adobe-digital-editions and delete it.
3. Open Adobe Digital Editions. You should see the Device Setup Assistance dialog. Click the Authorize Device button.
Once you have completed the steps above, please transfer the title again by dragging and dropping it on the device icon in the library view of Adobe Digital Editions. The transferred Adobe eBook title will be located in the 'My Documents' section on the Nook. If you are using a NOOKColor, transferred titles will be located in the 'My Files > Digital Editions' section.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rave

Downloaded document cannot be opened in Adobe Digital Editions, error is #2038

I have downloaded a document for Adobe Digital Editions, but it cannot be opened, error is # 2038, what to be done ??

Hi minczel,
The #2038 error indicates that ADE cannot get to Activation server. This generally happens because of either system or application level firewalls disallow access to the Adobe activation site (http://adeactivate.adobe.com/adept/)
Try disabling the firewall and check.
You might also want to refer to the solution mentioned in the thread : Error # 2038

Adobe Digital editions won't open

I''ve installed ADE but it won't open and I can't open an acsm file with it. In either case I immediately get the
"Adobe Digital Editions and encountered a problem and must close". I've searched several message boards and see many complaints about the intaller not opening or the installer not working properly but that is NOT the problem I'm having. The program itself will not open after being succesfully installed.

Your English is excellent.
I'm reminded of an international conference my brother-in-law went to.
Someone asked a question in bad English.
A pompous English person complained and said 'The language of this conference is English'
A Dane replied, 'No, the official language of this conference is broken English'.
~~~
By the 'old black one' I guess you mean ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) v1.7.2.
When ADE2.0 doesn't work, that is the one I usually suggest as it is much more reliable, but sounds as if you have tried it.
Just in case, link below.
~~~
I suggest you
> Uninstall all copies of ADE.
> If you don't have safe copies of your books, make a backup of any books first.
> Check for any folder left behind and delete it. eg
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions 2.0
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions 2.0
C:\Users\<your Windows username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Digital Editions
C:\Users\<your Windows username>\Documents\My Digital Editions
It may not be practicable to keep your old library structure, I don't know how important that is too you.
Similarly any notes and annotations.
> Try again ...
Reinstall ADE. (I'd use 1.7.2 as more reliable, but 2.0 if there any new features you really need)
Run ADE and remove any memory it may have of authorizations (ctrl-shift-D and respond to prompts)
It often half remembers and confuses things.
Restart ADE
Authorize ADE with your Adobe ID.
held og lykke

I can't get my Adobe Digital Edition to open after almost a year with no problems

I have used Adobe Digital Edition to download books from my library to transfer to my Nook. I started last December and never had a problem. Today I tried to download a book and ADE never opened. I tried to open ADE separately and can't get it to open. I rebooted, no help. I have a HP Windows 7 machine. Any ideas? Do I need to re-download ADE? Should I uninstall my current version first? Thanks for any help you can give me. I am a bit shy to do this, as I have seen foruns talking about user activation issues, and hope to avoid that possibility.

Well, I seem to be running into problems at every step.
I made a copy of the Digital editions folder ("My Digital Editions)- under my documents- (with annotations and thumbnails inside) and also made a copy of Manifest.xlm and renamed the folder and the Manifest file. That folder that had all those items did not have the uninstall .exe in it. It did have a setup.exe file in it. However the uninstall program was in a folder titled Adobe Digital Editions, which was under Program Files (x86). In addition to the uninstall file, there is a file named digitaleditions.exe
After making copies and renaming as you suggested above, I did the uninstall. it ran very quickly and said it was completed. However, nothing was removed from any of my digital edition folders. The file digitaleditions.exe is still in the folder under Programs (x86), although the uninstall .exe file is gone. I also went to the control panel and did an uninstall of digital editions from there-it was still showing up after I ran the uninstall program. the program now no longer shows up on my list of programs(from the start button, all programs selection), although again the digitaleditions.exe prorgam still shows in the folder.
I went to adobe to download the program again. When I try to launch the program I get a window asking for my administrator password. I know it, put it in, but I get an error message about bad password. I know the password is correct because it is the same one I log in with every start up. I only have one password. I then went to the "having trouble downloading" page on the adobe site and followed those instructions.(http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403051.html) and followed their uninstall previous versions directions. The adobe digitaleditions program was not there to uninstall as I had done this earlier. I clicked on the link to manually install, hitting the "run" buttons as instructed. It seems to download but then nothing happens. I can't seem to get a download from adobe. I still have all my files in the "my digital editions folder- annotations, thumbnails etc. The set.exe is still there. I also have these copied and renamed in a different directory. And in my Adobe Digital Editions folder, the digitaleditions.exe file is still there. Nothing ever got put in the trash folder. (Note that I tried to download a book from the library and it couldn't fiind ADE.) I tried to download ADE from their webpage and same thing- nothing happens. Do I need to pay Adobe to let me get this file redownloaded and installed? There seems to be something stuck. If you have any more advice I sure would appreciate it.
thanks
Ron

Adobe digital edition 2.0 not openned

Hello All,
In windows xp serivce pack-2, ADE 2.0 is working perfectly for few days only, but after few days ADE 2.0 is not opening. I dont know why it is not opening? Can anyone tell me reason behind this?
If RUN>>MSCONFIG>GENERAL>DIAGNOSTIC STARTUP - LOAD BASIC DEVICES AND SERVICE ONLY > APPLY > OK and restarting the system then the ADE 2.0 is opening.
If RUN>> MSCONFIG>GENERAL>NORMAL STARTUP - LOAD ALL DEVICE DRIVERS AND SERVICES > APPLY > OK and restarting the system then the ADE 2.0 is NOT opening. As you people are well aware that we cannot use the diagnostic startup since it will allow basic service and devices only.
I have tried the following methods to overcome this issue (from internet)
1. Uninstall Adobe Digital Editions using one of these two methods:
Start > Programs > Adobe > Adobe Digital Editions > Uninstall
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs
2. Initiate Uninstall
3. In order to remove all remnants of Adobe Digital Editions / Adobe Adept from the machine a "Registry Edit" will need to be performed:
Start > Run > Regedit
4. Search for HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Adobe > Adept and Delete the full "Adept" folder
5. Remove only the structures that are under the "SOFTWARE" extensions. This will remove the Adobe ID / License and Activation Keys
6. Clear any outstanding tasks that may be associated to Adobe Digital Editions downloads
C:\data\my digital editions
C:\my documents\my digital editions
7. Delete any documents within these folders:
Restore > Tasks
Restore > Failed
8. Re-install Adobe Digital Editions
9. I have updated Windows xp from SP2 to SP3
The above methods didn't helped me to solve this issue. Then, i have used DIAGNOSTIC STARTUP and safe mode, it was opened, but not in normal user mode.
Thanks,
Mano.A

ADE2.0 is not supported on XP below SP3 (and doesn't work very well on SP3, and is full of bugs on any OS).
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
