Search text fails in Digital Editions 3.0 if document is encoded as PDF

I installed Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 and attempted to do a text search. I found that if the document was encoded as ePub, the search worked fine. If the documented was encoded as PDF, the search fails. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hmm, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I searched my entire drive for "digital editions", and this is the whole thing:
/Applications/Adobe Digital Editions 3.0.app
/Users/user/Library/Caches/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app
/Users/user/Documents/Digital Editions
/Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.bom
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.DigitalEditions.plist
The application itself, three small files scattered in your user account, to unimportant installation receipt files, and another preference file in the root Library folder. Removing those should remove everything related to version 3, which is what I have installed.
Where I substituted "user" above (for the three entries of /Users/user/...), replace that with whatever the actual name of your user account is.
Edit: I double checked the installer using a small app that sorts out every file in an installer, and where each item would normally be installed. The main app is literally the only item in the installer. The receipts are created by the OS per the installer's data, and the other minor preference files are created when the app is first run. There is nothing else.

    How can I copy text in Adobe Digital Editions for an eBook that I have purchased?

    Adobe apps can be reset to their factory defaults by using Ctrl+Alt+Shift, not Del. The rest doesn't really make any sense since you did not provide any details and authorizations can't be changed that way, anyway. If you want to transfer books to other devices you need to contact the vendors to release the DRM/ provide a new download and if you want to change the registered ID, you need to contact support or create a completely new account, which in turn will require you to buy your DRM managed books again/ get a new download as well.

  • Is it possible to scroll the text in Adobe Digital Editions?

    Is it possible to scroll the text in Adobe Digital Editions?

    Hi,
    It is impossible to do that because the user query is using query generator. Click the condition button in the quer generator windows. The selection criteria text used the condition.
    you can use a custom report instead of using user query e.g. crystal report or reporting services

  • 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...

  • Autorisation PC failed Adobe digital Editions

    Various possible things.
    1) ~~~~~
    Your firewall is blocking ADE connections.  Double-check the firewall, or run with it (temporarily) turned off.
    2) ~~~~~
    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    It may be that the 'cannnot connect to server' is another of these incorrect messages.
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
    In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0
    3) ~~~~~~~~~
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  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.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically. 
    It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
    Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

  • Is it possible to highlight text on Adobe Digital Editions?

    So I decided to download an "eBook" for college for the first time, since it's cheaper than a physical book.
    It's on Adobe Digital Editions (1.7.2.1131)
    What I normally do in text books, is I highlight key texts from a chapter.
    I figured you'd have the ability to highlight on each page, and then come back and view the highlighted material later. Talk about frustrating.
    Is it possible and I'm just not seeing it?
    I guess the second best thing for now is to re-write the text in the bookmarks.

    Add the book to the Library (or bookmarks wont work), then select the text and click on the "Add Bookmark" button (towards the top  between the printer and the font size buttons).

  • Help - digital editions freezes at "verifying document" ?? what next

    Having successfully used Digital Editions to purchase books from Waterstones and Mills and Boon since I installed 1.7.1 update for Digital Editions I can't download any books.  Digital editions says it is downloading book then appears to freeze at "verifying document" with 0% completed.  IO Error on local file open with event detail error #2038.  Can anyone give me an idea what to do please?  Adobe Customer Support have been no help whatsoever despite me registering this problem since beginning of August - I still have no solution.

    Sucess!!!!
    A book that I had loaded into ADE prior to it freezing was also in another document folder on my computer.  Today I opened up the book in my document folder and it automatically opened it up with ADE - Frozen verifying document box now gone - yeah - ADE now usable, a strange fix and probably wont work all the time but hey its not frozen for me anymore.
    Now I use the Calibre for all my ebooks
    ADE will only be used for my books bought through, Borders and Angus & Robertson. (not taking any more chances)
    Hope this helps someone, as I know I couldn'tt find any fixes

  • Search text in Excel table in a Word 2013 document

    that would return a string in an Excel table itself contained in a word document 2013.
    This worked with such DocFetcher with old office version. But since 2013 dox Office Word and Excel xlsx had to change and it no longer works.
    thank you in advance
    greetings.

  • Adobe digital editions has stopped working??

    I have been using ADE to read library ebooks, and the 2.0 version has never worked for me- I have always got the error message "Adobe digital editions has stopped working" as soon as I try to open it. I have been using the older version 1.7.2, but now it will no longer let me use this version and forces me to download an upgrade. I have tried 2.0 and 3.0 and both get the same error message. I have tried reinstalling and allowing through my firewall but I still keep getting the message. Does anyone know how I can fix this please??

    When you open the ADE 2x/3x, It tries to load the books' details from the "My Digital Editions" folder (in "My documents") for the library view. If any of the book is corrupt, It fails to open correctly.
    I am guessing this is the issue.
    Can you try the following:
    Backup the "My Digital Editions" folder and then remove this folder.
    Now open the ADE. Hopefully, It will work.
    If it does, you can open the books from the Backed up folder.
    I hope it helps.

  • Adobe Digital Edition 2.0

    Can you highlight text in adobe digital edition?

    Don't know whether this is the problem that you were having, but the highlight operation was disabled (grayed-out) on the right-click menu for me. I discovered that this was because I had simply opened the document by double-clicking on it in Windows Explorer, never having added it to the Adobe Editions Library. Once I added the document to the Adobe Editions Library, highlight was available.

  • I would like to select the location of my "My Digital Editions" folder. How can I do so?

    The options / preferences for Adobe DIgital Eds seems quite limited. In particular, users should be able to choose the location where digital items are stored. The default arrangements throw off my document syncing. I do not want the My Digital Editions folder in My Documents. Is there currently a way to choose the location of the My Digital Editions folder? Will there be in the future? After all, it is my computer.
    Thanks, Michael

    Moving this discussion to the Adobe Digital Editions forum.
    Michael I am sorry but Adobe Digital Editions does not support a custom location for the My Digital Editions folder at this time.

  • Digital editions for IPOD Touch

    Does anyone know of any way to get adobe digital editions to work or transfer to an IPOD Touch

    YES !!
    This morning I just discovered the Bluefire reader app. It works well.  I would say you need to read the directions first, and have to go through Adobe id but it works great on my iPod 2nd Gen with OS 4.2. and iMac with OS 10.5 
    here's the link to the website, which will also link you to the App store.
    Bluefire Reader
    Be sure to read the directions. You will also need to know where  Adobe Digital Editions places the epub ebook file ( Digital Editions folder in the Documents folder)
    Hope this solves it.
    PS: I contacted iFlow Reader, another great reader app, and they also have solved the problem and have a revision waiting for apple to approve the update.  This one was recommended by Adobe, but it's not quite ready.  Both of these apps are free!
