Read aloud on Adobe Digital Edition - where is it?

Supposed to be included...

No, ADE is, essentially, a "broker". It communicates with the server where the purchased digital content is located. ADE tells the server that , "Hey - this user really did pay for the content so send it on down."
ADE facilitates the transfer of the content from the sever to the ultimate destination - the document reader (ebook reader typically).
All the formal communications is needed as the digital content is in a protective wrap of Digital Rights Management (DRM) to assure protection of the content owners' property rights.
Now, once digital content is in place on the eBook reader the ability to do text to speech may or may not be there.
The eBook device must support it with hardware and software.
The digital content's DRM must permit it .
Etc., etc.
But, anyway -- this is all stuff to talk about at the ADE user forum as this user forum is for Adobe Reader and Adobe Reader does provide read aloud for any PDF that has renderable text (not the image/picture of text provided by a scanner and not "outlines" of fonts).
The ADE forum is at:
Adobe Digital Editions
Be well...

Screen reader use with Adobe Digital Editions

What screen readers can be used with Adobe Digital Editions?
Interested in suggestions of both commercial and freeware screen readers
Particularly when using Digital Editions for EPUB ebooks
Thank you

I have the same problem. I am also running Windows 7, however, within VirtualBox. I hope this makes no difference.
I switched off firewall and reduced security settings to the lowest level. I installed and afterwards started the software having admin rights.
The problem occurs with ADE 2, 3 and 4.
The authorizations does not have an end. The green bar is moving for hours with the message "authorization running".
Can anyone help??

Problems with view in Adobe Digital editions

Some equation images (gif/jpeg) view perfectly fine and they are not corrupted. But these math images do not display fine in Adobe Digital Edition, whereas
the same displays fine in MobiReader. Require a permanent solution for this issue soon

I use a Dv500 with Premiere 6.02 to digitize 8mm analog camcorder tapes, and the resulting files are exactly like the original tapes http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM
Digitizing from an analog tape is what is known as "capturing"
If you are only TRANSFERRING from a digital tape camcorder via the firewire connection, your Dv500 is not doing anything at all to the video... it is a simple COPY of the video from tape to computer, since the video file is already in digital format
More details are needed... such as camcorder make and model... and are you really doing a firewire transfer, or are you digitizing from analog?

Using a textbook on Adobe Digital Editions

I recently bought a textbook (MCB 163: Developmental Genetics) on Adobe Digital Editions per the recommendation of my instructor. I am having an ENORMOUS amount of trouble because it is AGONIZINGLY slow and I need to speed it up in order to have a functional textbook! What can I do to make things go more smoothly?

Are you reading it using Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) on a PC?
That is not a very good bit of software, but is not usually too slow, there may be something odd about the book.
You could try installing the Sony Reader software on the PC and seeing if that is any faster: I doubt it will be but worth a try.
That software is intended for use in conjuction with Sony eReader devices, but can be installed and used on any PC.

Ebooks from Sony PC Reader to Adobe Digital Editions

I have a Sony PRS-T1. I also have Adobe Digital Editions installed on my computer. My Husband has a Kobo. When I purchase ebooks from various book stores they are automatically put into Sony PC Reader. When my husband wants ro read these books, I add them to ADE and then drop them onto his ereader (which appears as a book shelf). Recently when I have done this he has been unable to open the ebook on his device. Now I am noticing that when I try to put the ebook onto ADE, it gives me an error message that the "document is licensed for a different device". How do I fix this?
My understanding is that I can add the book to up to 6 devices, I am just trying to add it to a second device, and this has worked perfectly in the past????
Is there any way to avoid using Sony PC Reader ( I don't like it) and just use ADE to up load ebooks from the retailer and then to my Sony and the Kobo???

Unfortunately, the error comes from ADE reading the ID file of the ebooks
and then comparing it to the current ID. That's the only time the error is
generated. And it's possible that something has screwed up due to a change
that seemed unrelated.
Let's take this a step further.
If something 'changed' recently, did you log into the Sony Reader Store in
that time frame? Sony has updated their software, and that can occur
without you seeing anything happening.
Have you been able to open any of the affected ebooks before? Where did
you download them from - and if it was Sony Reader Store, did you put them
into the Reader library?
Did you know that Sony tells us the PRS-T1 is not supported under ADE,
while ADE says it is? I don't know how to rectify that.
Did you register the T1 with Sony using your current Adobe ID? (you
probably did but I had to ask)
Often, I forget a detail that, when I remember it, gives me the key to the
answer. I've been doing that for a number of years, but my wife doesn't
give me credit for any of them.

Kobo APP download Docs, PDF's Kobo said to convert the PDF using Adobe Digital Editions, then I'd be able to upload to the Kobe APP via iTunes. Where is File Sharing under the Apps tab located?

I've uploaded my PDF to Adobe Digital Editions, but can't find where on iTunes to select file sharing under the Apps Tab... as specified in the instructions in the Kobo APP for the iPhone... and a rep from Kobo told me it was possible.

For future questions, this forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with an issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

Where is the user manual for Adobe Digital Editions?

Where is the user manual for Adobe Digital Editions?

Thanks to you both for your replies.
I should have explained that I have already seen 'Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions', an epub document that comes with the software. It is only nine pages long, more of a quick guide than a manual. I had expected that there would be more to the software than is covered there. Perhaps there isn't. (To explain a little further: I was looking for a way to cause epub pages to print or display like the pages of the original book, but couldn't find anything about printing beyond. That feature is present in the Bluefire Reader for iOS devices. I tried printing a particular page using Ctrl+P and specifying the page number. The page printed, but it was spread over two sheets of A4 paper and the page number was not printed.)

Reader for Adobe Digital Editions 3.0

I currently use Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 in order to read epub books from my local library. Is there an add in that will read the book (audio) to allow a visually impaired person to listen to the book? If so I need instructions to make it work. Thanks!!

I would like to apologize for my tardiness, a Lady that stole my heart 50 years ago finished her job and went ahead of me to get our next place ready. I am so lost without her. I finally realized how upset she's going to be for me not helping or at least pitching in, This is my first evening back.
Let me show you what I bring to the table tonight my friend, http://www.freedomscientific.com/jaws-hq.asp
Now at this address I have only 2 versions available:

Sony Reader - Adobe Digital Editions DRMed books causing crashes

Hi,
Hopefully someone has seen this behaviour before and knows how to solve it.
I'm in the UK with the UK version of the Sony PRS-505 eBook Reader which runs software version 1.2.00.18050. I've installed the Sony eBook Library and the Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) software on Windows XP and they both worked perfectly. The 'free' books that came with the Reader install just fine as do free books from places like feedbooks.com.
However, when I want to buy a book, things go badly wrong. ADE sees the Reader and I can register it. I then tried to download a book from the Waterstones online store (Waterstones are the UK partner for Sony). The file transferred and looks fine inside ADE.
However, when I copied the file to the Reader's internal memory and unplugged it from the computer, things began to go wrong. The spinning refresh icon appeared and the Reader reset, rebooted, up came the refresh icon, reset, reboot - and so on and on and on...
I performed a hard reset on the Reader, re-registered it with ADE and tried installing the DRMed book on the SD card. After unplugging the Reader, it began to endlessly reboot just as before. Removing the card stopped the rebooting and the Reader behaved as normal. Delete the book from the card, plug it back in and the Reader is happy - so it's definitely something to do with the book or the DRM on the book. I've tried a couple of titles and each of them do the same thing.
After pleading for help on a mobileread forum, another UK user has had exactly the same problem. He has had his Reader exchanged for another one but that too is crashing when he tries to use DRMed content.
So has anyone here seen this problem? I'm completely stuck as Waterstones, from whom I've bought it are passing the buck to Sony and they are almost certainly going to pass it on to Adobe.
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike.

Update Two:
I zorched the Reader, then reloaded ALL content to a Memory Stick. Once this had completed it's initial scan, it would refresh in a couple of minutes when accessed with Sony's software, then detached from the computer.
I next re-authorized the Reader and added a single protected book via ADE to the internal memory of the Reader, with the MS removed. This book was the only thing in the Reader. It loaded, but the Reader took a relatively long time to refresh after disconnect (like 25 seconds, with only one book). I can access the book without a problem.
Next I installed the MS. It took about six or seven minutes, but it came up OK (about 200 books on there). After that I connected the Reader to the computer for a minute or two and then detached it. It completed the two refresh cycles in about 30 seconds (internal memory then the MS).
Next I plugged it into the computer and accessed it with the Sony software. I then ejected it via the software and unplugged it and it's been stuck in a refresh cycle ever since. I expect it to crash if I wait long enough, but I'll probably pull the card after finishing this post.
Something is happening to the Reader that is causing it to be VERY slow about scanning external memory after it's authorized by ADE.
Next experiment is to see if what happens with just a dozen or so books only on the internal memory.
UPDATE 3:
So I put about a dozen books in the internal memory, no external cards. That refreshed in about 5 seconds after detaching from the Sony software. I then added four more protected books via ADE. Detaching from the computer after that the Reader took about two minutes to refresh the content (now only 16 books, 5 protected by ADE).
Adding a few more books from the Sony software caused about a two minute refresh cycle. Next detach with Sony software was very fast (no changes, just listing the contents) as was one where I added a single file.
I'll keep adding stuff to the internal memory to see what happens.
Finally, I'd note that when the Reader hangs the spinning arrows are frozen, or only move once a minute or so, as opposed to spinning rapidly but for a long time.
I think you can recreate this problem if you just load up an external memory device with a 150 or so books from your favorite public domain source, then start adding a few protected by ADE. Users with 650+ books have reported that it only takes their readers about three minutes to refresh the contents after unhooking the from the computer, so I'm pretty sure something is amiss here.
Thanks again for looking at this. I can keep swapping stuff around manually, but I really liked having all my books on the Reader so I can pick and choose while on trips. Not being able to use the memory expansion is a significant drawback.

Where on my computer is my Adobe Digital Edition?

I recently downloaded and installed Adobe Digital Edition but I cannot find it on my computer under programs. Every time I want to open a book I have to download it again. Where do I look for this on my computer? Thanks.

Hi,
Which operating system is your computer running?
If you are using Windows, navigate to My Computer->C:->Program Files (or Program Files (x86) if running 64-bit version of Windows)->Adobe
In the Adobe folder, look for Digital Editions. In the Digital Editions folder you should see a digitaleditions.exe file.
Create a shortcut of this on your desktop and you should be able to launch digital editions by clicking on the icon in future.
In case you don't see the digital editions folder, I would recommend that you reinstall the software by using this link : Adobe Digital Editions
During installation, you will have the option to choose if you want to create a shortcut or add the application in your list of programs.
Hope this helps.
