Printing to PDF in Digital Editions breaks out the file

I don't like that if you allow printing of a PDF in your DRM permissions that a user of Digital Editions can print to a PDF and essentially "break" the DRM by creating a new DRM-free PDF.
Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks for the help. (I'm not the ACS server tech guy, but just hoping someone can help so our tech guy can stop this from happening - without turning off printing completely.)
Mike

Any new activity on this? I've only been putting up files with No Printing Allowed in the DRM settings.
Is there a way to allow printing, but not allow some one to print to a new DRM-free PDF?

Poor image quality when viewing PDFs in Digital Editions

I recently bought a digital copy of a book in the .acsm file format. The site I bought it from recommended using Digital Editions. I am on a mac, OS X 10.6.3. When viewing this book, there are various screen shots that are essentially illegible in the single or double page format. If I use the zoom feature they become more legible but still of low quality. At first I thought it was the ebook I bought but I think it's Digital Editions, actually. As a test I opened a plain 'ol PDF in Preview that had some screenshots in it - and those looked good. Viewing the same PDF in Digital Editions though, the images were again of low quality.
Digital Editions doesn't seem to have preferences (like most OS X apps) that might allow me to tweak this. Is there something that can be changed in terms of settings to make the images clearer?
Also, as an aside, Digital Editions on the Mac seems to have some delay when I try to copy things from the text. I have to hold the command + c keys longer than I would otherwise in order to get the highlighted text to be copied.

In iTunes with you iPod connected select the Photos tab and check *Include full-resolution photos* and re-sync.

Moving the Digital Editions folder out of Documents

Hi Everyone,
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 (snow leopard). Is there a way for me to move the Digital Editions folder out of my Documents folder without screwing up the software? (I'd like to put it in a separate folder where I keep all of my ebooks.)
It would be a big help if you have any suggestions.
Sincerely Yours,
ISB

You got the basic idea. I would:
Make sure you quit ADE
Copy your current Digital Editions folder to where you want it to be (important make it a copy) and maybe rename it if you don't want it to be called Digital Editions.
Rename the Digital Editions folder in your Documents folder to something like "Old Digital Editions"
Open up Terminal window and type ln -s (and add a space at the end)
Drag the folder that you created in step 2 onto the terminal window - this will add the full path onto the command line (ie the /Volumes/SecondDrive/ebooks/de above)
Type in a space and then "~/Documents/Digital\ Editions" without the double quotes into the terminal.
In a finder window make sure it worked by making sure there is now a "Digital Editions" folder that opens up to the folder you created in step 2.
Launch ADE and make sure it still works.
Good Luck...

"PDF for Digital Editions" is not PDF; I asked a refund

I bought my first two books from ebooks.com (format : "PDF for Digital Editions"), costing more than $150. At the time of purchase, I knew nothing about ADE but I knew about .pdf files, I knew they could be read on my iPad and I assumed that PDF meant PDF. However, after the purchase, after installing ADE and downloading one of the book, I realized I could only read it on my desktop (what good is that?). Worse, the book file extension is .pdf and even my computer thinks it should be readable by Acrobat Reader but it does not open. I therefore cannot read it on my iPad; these books are useless to me. Bottom line, "PDF FOR DIGITAL EDITIONS" IS NOT PDF. This is not clearly stated by ebooks.com prior to purchasing the book.
I honestly feel this is misrepresentation by both Adobe and ebooks.com of the name "PDF". I asked ebooks.com for a full refund and I also want other ADE users to know about this. Adobe should either make ADE available to all platforms (like the Acrobat Reader) or stop using the name "PDF" and the extension ".pdf" for ADE files.

This is also compounded by the use of the ePub file format from other e-book resellers. I can't help but wonder if this was done intentionally to hurt Apple's iPad since it advertises that the iBook reader supports the ePub standard. The problem is that Adobe's Digital Edition ePub is anything BUT standards based.
For all e-book customers - research the .pdf/epub format your reseller uses to determine if it is indeed an Adobe crippled product before purchasing - especially if your intent is to read it on an iPhone or iPad.

Using an F2100 printer & can't scan to pdf there is no option in the file type menu there used be ?

Using an F2100 printer & can't scan to pdf there is no option in the file type menu there used be ? I'm using xp but had an hp update and have the problem tried unistalling and reinstalling the HP software and even using system restore to be the update .I hope it is just a setting or something simple. Is there another software I can use ? Many thanks

Follow steps 1 and 2 of this tutorial and you will be able to get a jpg file for each of your book's pages inported into iPhoto: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book. If you don't have the Automator workflow Save PDF to iPhoto (which should be in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder) you can download it from Toad's Cellar.

I have created numerous forms in Designer and for some reason, "Edit in Designer" from PDF, I cannot edit any of the fields in Design View.

Is it possible you accidentally put the fields on the master page?

Adobe Digital Editions crashes all the time-

I'm trying to use it with Netgalley on my iMac G5. When I download a book and try to open it in Adobe Digital Editions, I get the spinning beachball of death! Twice in a row now, it has simply frozen on me, and I've had to send error reports to Apple. I am running Leopard and the machine, though old, is generally pretty stable. Do I need to update Adobe Digital Editions or perhaps get a different version for a Mac PPC? I don't really understand this - it used to work fine on this machine!
Thanks. Please let me know if this isn't clear, or if I can give you any more information that might help to solve the problem. I'm just trying to get a Netgalley ebook onto my Sony pocket reader via Digital Editions.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Does Adobe Digital Editions work with the Kobo Arc 7 e-reader ?

I cannot get Adobe Digital Editions to recognise my Kobo Arc 7.
Does Adobe Digital Editions work with the Kobo Arc 7 e-reader ?
It is recognised partly by Calibre but then produces an communication error message.
Are there any other utilities I could use to organise DRM files downloaded to be stored on the Kobo Arc?

No. For information about the future plans for this see http://blogs.adobe.com/billmccoy/2009/10/adobe-ebooks--.html

How to pull out the file in IDOC to File scenario

Hi All,
I have a scenario where, we are splitting an IDoc into 4 different files thru BPM.
Those files are being sent to 3rd party file server. Now, is there any way in which i can see those files from my XI box?
I am able to see only the xml's of those files in sxmb_moni. But, i want to see those exact files in their file formats, which are being sent to the file server.
How can i get them?
Many Thanks
Chandra Sekhar

Hi,
> i want to see those exact files in their file formats, which are being sent to the file server.
Create another Communication Channel FTP /NFS and get the XML file.
As Satish mentioned you can acheive it,
If you want to look at the File..Create one more File Adapter under the Same Business System temporaly point out the File adapter instead of IDOC Adapter then Switch to IDOC Adapter later.

Saving a book as PDF takes significantly more time when the file binary *.fm rater than *.mif?

Is it possible, that saving a book (with FrameMaker 10) as PDF takes significantly more time when the file is formatted in the binary *.fm rather than the *.mif format?
We have books (+160p) that take about 20 min to be saved as PDF, whereas the same book in MIF format can be saved as PDF within about 4 minutes. Is this a known issue?
Or could that be a problem with our books?
Does anyone know how to speed up the process (how to tweak) or are there any special adjustments in the books or documents that might slowdown the process of saving them as PDF?
The distiller seems not to be the problem. The distiller takes equally long for both formats.
best regards

Strikes me as peculiar. I would expect that FM is rendering from the data structures in memory, which I would expect to be essentially identical whether originally opened as .fm or .mif.
If return-to-UI time is important, the fastest path is:
print to local .ps file
Distill separately.
And it sounds like you have the full Acrobat product, and thus have full Distiller.
I don't have sufficient experience with Print-to-PDF vs. Save-as-PDF to opine on potential time differences for those paths.

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
As for sound quality:
Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic.

How to find out the file name

Hi,
In selection screen (parameter) user will give input TXT file from presentation server to upload to SAP. I need to capture the file name only but not the path and need to concatenate with date stamp and need to download error log in XLS file to presentation server.
How to find out the file name from selection screen?
I searched SCN threads but not found relavant solution.
Thanks,
R Kumar

Hi
This code gets only filename from selection screen :
REPORT x.
PARAMETERS p_file(100).
DATA : gv_full_path LIKE ibipparms-path,
       gv_full_path_string TYPE string,
       gv_filename(100),
       gv_file_ext(3).
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
Ask user to select file with a popup :
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
    IMPORTING
      file_name = gv_full_path.
Get filename from path :
gv_full_path_string = gv_full_path.
CALL FUNCTION 'CH_SPLIT_FILENAME'
    EXPORTING
      complete_filename = gv_full_path_string
    IMPORTING
      extension         = gv_file_ext
      name              = gv_filename.
CONCATENATE gv_filename '.' gv_file_ext INTO gv_filename.
p_file = gv_filename.
I hope it helps.

I have a new computer with windows 8.1. I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer. I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet! How can I do this?

Apparently I wasn't clear. The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives. I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists. How can I do this?
