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.

  • 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.)

  • Delete computer authorization for adobe digital editions

    I bought a new computer and therefore I should delete the authorization for my old one. How can I manage this?

    Thank you for your quick reply.  I already gave the computer away - therefore I think I have to wait until the authorizations run out.
    If Adobe resets  all authorizations what happens to the files I saved in ADE? Are they  deleted then?

  • I can't sign in to erase computer authorization on adobe digital editions

    When I try to download a book I get the "Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ACT_NOT_READY" message.  So I try to erase the authorization as I see instructed, but it keeps telling me my password is wrong.  I've verified the password repeatedly.

  • Adobe digital editions activation errer server for my computer, what do I do

    adobe digital editions activation errer server for my computer, what do I do

    You can do it with Calibre.   http://calibre-ebook.com/
    You can do it in one step very easily without too much control,
    or via HTML, add your style sheet manually, then to epub (I haven't tried this).
    In fact, Calibre will also transfer to an ereader and no need to use ADE at all.
    (I only use ADE rather than Calibre where there is a DRM file involved.)
    There are quite a few other software that will do it as well.

  • Opened adobe digital edition anonymously and now can't use book on other computer

    I didn't realise I needed to open adobe digital editions with my name in order to access the book I purchased from more than one device. How can I remedy this situation? the publisher is not being overly helpful

    This is a vicious trap that Adobe lays for unsuspecting customers.
    When you register 'without ID', ADE creates an anonymous/implicit ID with limited powers (eg can't be used to share with other devices).
    Whenever you first load a DRM book, that copy of the book is associated with whatever ID the computer is registered to at the time.
    Any book you load while this anonymous ID is active gets associated with that ID, and can't be read on any other device.
    When you properly register your computer with a real ID, that old anonymous ID is lost.
    Now you don't have any devices that can read the book.
    The only way I know round this is to use a DRM stripper such as epubee BEFORE you deauthorize the device.
    I do NOT advocate using such code to get around the valid limitations placed on a DRM book.
    However, where the problem arises only because of the ineptness of Adobe's ADEPT DRM infrastructure and its implementation,
    such a measure is totally justifiable.

  • Authorize computer in Adobe Digital Editions

    Can multiple users authorize one computer on different windows login accounts?  Several family members in our household have adobe IDs + library cards.  When I connect my NOOK color to transfer an ebook within Adobe Digital Editions, it compares the email address registered on my device to the email address authorized within the Adobe Digital Editions (which is my daughter's because we set up her ID first).  Does this limit only one user per computer when downloading ebooks through this software?

    tjb04 I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Adobe Digital Editions forum.

  • Do I need Adobe Digital Editions 2 and 3. on my computer?

    Recently I was going through 'Programs and Features' and realized I had Adobe Digital Editions 2 and 3 installed. Are both needed. I am running Vista on Windows 7 (64 bit).
    I have medical memory problems and am finding Chrome to be challenging.
    I also wonder if this could be related to the problem I am having with not being able to open Adobe Reader. I have the JavaScript all figured out and am trying everything I can think of to open Adobe Reader. I am open to any suggestions.
    Because of my problems all replys need to be in English (not in computer jargon) and in a 1, 2, 3 sequence. Sorry to be troublesome but thats me.
    Thanks to all who want to give it a try.

    I had the same issue.  I uninstalled version 2 and my program ran fine.  Well, it still has the same problem I had with version 2, which is why I'm in the forums right now, but you don't need both versions.  I don't know if having both will cause issues or not (some extensions and apps have this issue) from what I saw, downloading version 3 did not update version 2.  You just got another ADE program that was a bit newer.
    However, I'm not an expert.  This is just what I experienced by uninstalling it.  I highly doubt you'd have a problem.  And if you do have some weird issue from it?  Uninstall all ADE programs from your computer, and then reinstall the most current version available.  Should fix you right up.  Good luck!

  • Why Adobe digital Edition does not accept my Adobe ID for authorisation my Computer?

    Hello, who has experience in this question?

    Most like answer is my first below.  Second added as a possible solution if the first doesn't work.
    1) ~~~~~
    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.
    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
    2) ~~~~~~~~~
    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.

  • Why can't I install adobe digital edition in my computer?

    Why can't I install Adobe Digital Edition in my computer?

    Hi,
    What operating system are you using and what happens when you try to install Digital Editions?
    Thanks

  • Try to install a adobe digital edition for my kobo touch. i have no administrative password -using library computer. what can i do?

    from Marcia.
    I have a kobo touch ereader.  Try to install adobe digital editions.  i only access to a library computer window 7.  Try to download ADE 3. 0. Installater.exe.   No administrative password.
    Can you help me.  My kobo touch software is 1.9.17. (r37581 3/16/12)  model no. N905B27210158.

    Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message.  If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

  • Install and use Adobe Digital Editions on a computer without internet access ?

    Hello,
    I have a pair of PCs, one of them, with Windows Vista, has never been connected to the internet since many years. It is used for word processing mostly. I didn't even bother to plug an ethernet cable inside or think about a Wifi USB key, in a way it's better that way, no useless distractions and no security threats.
    I want to use that offline PC for work, and it would require to use Adobe Digital Editions on that machine. I downloaded the offline standalone installer from adobe.com without problems, however, apparently, Adobe only accepts us to use the program after we have activated it through internet access.
    Does that mean there is simply no way out, and I can't use Digital Editions on my offline computer ?
    Would you perhaps know a solution to this issue ?
    Thank you VERY MUCH if you can help !
    Kind regards

    I don't think there is a way out.
    You could use it for non-DRM books without authorizing, but there are much better options (such as the free Calibre) for that anyway. http://calibre-ebook.com/
    If you make a temporary internet connection, then once authorized, you should not need internet access to read books you have got elsewhere and copied to it.

  • 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...
