It is an activation error message. Troubleshooting the Adobe site has not provided any help so now I've lost $20 plus dollars for three books. <BR/><BR/>I've downloaded books before in pdf format and it's great! Which is what I thought I was purchasing this time Going forward I will most likely avoid the ebook venue. <BR/><BR/>If anyone has any insights on how to fix this activation error problem, I'd appreciate your help.<BR/><BR/>WendyWendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13405790662252937283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304494.post-48532930803967066792007-08-14T11:22:00.000+01:002007-08-14T11:22:00.000+01:00Just searching to see if there was a solution to this problem and I found your blog. <BR/><BR/>Adobe Digital Editions is a pain in the neck. I paid for an e-book in what I thought was PDF format. Instead I received the same mysterious file as you and had to download and install this limited function program. I can't read my ebook on my PDA, I can't print any pages, I can't even transfer the document to read on my laptop. Digital Editions won't even read the text aloud. My only option is to sit in front of my monitor and read all 400+ pages from the screen. Well, I worked out a way around this. By taking screen shots of each page (not as difficult as it sounds, this only takes about 2 seconds per page using a Mac), I can batch process the images, cropping them and saving as JPEGs, which I can now read on my PSP. I could OCR the image files and save as text. I may be tempted to do this.<BR/><BR/>Adobe should warn customers that the files they are selling are NOT standard PDF files and that they cannot be opened or read by Acrobat or any other application that you might usually use to open a PDF.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304494.post-4135660558955063062007-04-19T17:22:00.000+01:002007-04-19T17:22:00.000+01:00It's true that this facility has been disabled by my publishers, WCCL. The reason is to reduce the risk of copyright infringement, but I am sorry if it has caused you any inconvenience. It is a commercial decision taken by WCCL, and not one I have any control over.<BR/><BR/>It may be worth contacting WCCL via www.myhelphub.com to ask if there is any way around this restriction, or at least feed back to them your concerns.<BR/><BR/>NickNickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01610067412050376098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304494.post-33805895832142241632007-04-19T16:31:00.000+01:002007-04-19T16:31:00.000+01:00True as it may be, I have discovered that your E-book course on winning competitions will not print. The Print feature has in fact been disabled. As we say in the trade: Is it a bug or is it a feature?Arnsteinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04122683972973455483noreply@blogger.com
