Cannot open Epub, but correct pdf files

Hello

When I try to download an ebook of kobo, all files pdf opens automatically in the Adobe digital editions. However, all of the epub files will not open in the form of books, just zip files. I tried save them on my computer and opening, but they save as a zip folder and simply open the subfolders that contain pieces of the ebook. It's really frustrating. I hope someone can help me. Thanks, DS.

One vial .epub is a disguised... zip file it seems as if your default opening programme is evil.

Check first if you can open the Digital Editions (ADE) drag - .epub files move on ADE or by file/add to linbrary (ctrl-O).

If it's ok, associate .epub files to ADE. can be easy, sometimes clumsy...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes the recording of the ADE for Windows as the default handler for files .acsm and .epub does not;

This is what causes the double click in Explorer gear;

especially in Windows 8/8.1 and maybe 7.

This seems to be a bug in Windows (for once not a bug in ADE).

Two possible ways around it.

First of all, try to force it to explore

Right-click on an .epub file (and if necessary, repeat the full sequence for .acsm)

Select 'Open with' If on the list, 'open' if not.

Select "choose default program".

Select ADE if it's on the list.

Otherwise select "options" and go to the executable of the ADE (may be C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions\digitaleditions.exe)

Now the fichiers.epub/.acsm must be associated by ADE, and a double-click should work.

Sometimes, Windows allows you to go through it all, but then refuses to make the association you have requested.

In this case, the only way I know is to use a third part program file association.

  • CANNOT OPEN TWO OR MORE PDF FILES AT THE SAME TIME

    Since Adobe Acrobat is released, I could double click on any PDF and it will open a new window.  I use six monitors so I could open and compare six different PDF files at the same time.

    Then all of a sudden about two years, all PDFs started tile in the same window.  This made side by side comparisons is impossible.    What's crazy is not a single person I contacted can understand it.  Even the most intelligent guy (even Adobe technicians) cannot understand how the do-but it was something he always did in the past.

    This is such an obvious feature and the answer should be easy.  Someone on another forum suggested this, but there is no button or option checkbox "Display each document in its own window" - which is what I'm actually trying to do.  The person who asked this question is in the graphic industry told me that she never found an answer after more then 3 years asking.

    What the devil?  Nobody really knows the answer?  Wow.  If I had to open a MS Word window and click on the program again, it would keep opening more and more windows side by side, so I can compare, cut and paste.

    Nobody knows the answer to this simple problem?

    I use Adobe Acrobat 7 and 7 Professional.

    Edition > Preferences (ctrl + k), under Show place settings check "display each document in its own window" and for good measure, clear check to "open interdocument links in the same window.

    Hi Julia,

    Acrobat 7 is not supported by Adobe & its not even compatible on Windows 7. It is not possible to predict how the application on an unsupported environment will behave.

  • Cannot open attahcments in the pdf files linked on Web sites

    I can't open the files into a pdf file when I click on them, as they appear on a Web page. I am trying to open the PDFs embedded in a pdf document to http://www.surfsidebeach.org/agenda-2013.html. None of the embedded PDF files opens. However, they will open in Internet Explorer. Is there any solution for this?

    This looks like a limitation of Firefox built-in PDF Viewer. To switch to the Viewer from Adobe (or the other viewer of your choice), see the procedure described in this article: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer. Does it work?

  • Office Jet 8500 a makes a scan of document, converts and saves the PDF file, but the PDF file does not open

    My new Office Jet 8500 (A910-G) seems to correctly perform a scan to PDF, but the PDF file does not open, gives me the error message "the selected document cannot be opened" in PDF Complete.

    I agree that it's a software because it works well with Adobe Acrobat.  It's just PDF Complete (which was free with my HP computer) does not work!

  • Vista cannot open epub files

    Hello!  Windows Vista cannot open epub files: can you help me? I have connected my Nook to my laptop to download a software update and am unable.  Thank you!

    For reading the books to Nook, simply install the Nook for PC player on your computer, and it can synchronize all your Nook books purchased on your computer.

    But this program does not allow you to read the ePub books you downloaded from other sources, in this case, you need Adobe Digital Editions.
  • I can no longer open and read a PDF file

    I can no longer open and read a pdf file, yet all the configurations appear to be correct, I uninstalled and reinstalled and still the problem remains. Can someone please help?

    What PDF reader do you use? If it's Adobe, I suggest you remove it and install Foxit.
     
     
    If you still have problems, create a file association.
     
    1. download and save the attachment to the office, if not already.
    2. right click on the saved file.
    3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
    4. click on: choose [default] program.
    5. Select: Foxit Reader.
    6. check: always use the selected program to open this type of file.
    7. click on OK.
     
     
    It works for you?

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader App for Iphone is not open attachments in the PDF file - help

    On my i-phone, I am trying to access the PDF files (via a browser App, I tried Safari, Firefox, Chrome) because the files are hosted in a cloud such as Salesforce or Google Drive environment.  These files have been created with e-mails, most having parts attached (Word, Excel, PDF) by using a component software add-in Outlook, Sperry Software "Save as PDF".  Emails that all are saved as PDF with attachments to email that is automatically attached to the new PDF and stay of attachments in their original format.  This PDF file is then transferred to the cloud and is easily accessible from the desktop computer using Firefox with a few setting tweaks.

  • Can't open any of my pdf files

    Last week, I got a notice that a new update was available for Adobe Reader. As I have done for almost 30 years, I chose the update. When he was done, I saw that it was a CD player, and I'm not a fan of 'Cloud '. I'm on this Forum and I was told that I could choose to download reader XI on the Site of Adobe. I went and did this. Once it was installed, I tried to open several single-page and multi-page documents. Always had to open a single page. This morning, I decided that I try the CD player, just not use the cloud. I uninstalled the recently loaded slow XI and downloaded the CD player. After that, I couldn't do anything to open, even after several minutes of waiting. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the CD player twice more, with no luck. I went to Adobe Support, and he said to try to go to the Panel and select 'Edit' in the region of uninstall programs. He said there was a difficulty, that have downloaded and installed, after which he noted that the "Fix" was successful and active. NOT.

    Now I don't know what to do. I have literally hundreds of pdf files that I can't open. Help, please.

  • Cannot convert Web Page to PDF: file not found

    Hello

    I can't convert some open web pages as PDF documents:

    I select the option "convert Web Page to PDF ', after which the dialog box opens to ask me where I want to save etc. A file name is already suggested, if I click on save: I get an error message saying that the file is not found then and to check the name of the file, and then try again.

    I have tried to change the file name & record the location, but get the same result.

    Any ideas, please?

    Acrobat Pro DC, running in Windows 10, Internet Explorer 11

    Microsoft in their wisdom made sure the convert in acrobat function will not work unless you disable some of the web security in internet Explorer in Windows 10.  In Internet Explorer, click: tools, Internet options, security and uncheck the Enable Protected Mode.  You must restart Internet Explorer.

    This isn't a matter of adobe.  But maybe they could find a way to make their product work under this environment without turning off this feature in Internet Explorer in Windows 10.  Just talk as I pdf another program that works very well even with the Enable Protected Mode check box.  Hey - at least Microsoft included in version 10 to win, IE there is no way yet to use addons in the Edge program.

  • Cannot insert pages in a PDF file after having signed with a digital signature in adobe 9

    Is there no workaround solution that allows me to insert additional pages in a SIGNED pdf file?

    Background:

    Author of a form create a form that needs multiple signatures and attached pages and converted to PDF format for the signature. Person 1 sign and sends it to the person 2. Person 2 must include additional documents and insert pages before signing.

    In the new version, I noticed that it changes the security documents that may prevent the insertion after logging it. How can I disable this?

    Hi Bob,

    You don't like the answer, but it cannot be disabled. In previous versions, when you added a page it invalidates the signature. Starting with Acrobat 9, once the PDF file is signed is no longer changes the content of the core PDF. The change was made to protect the integrity of the signature. You can still add comments, but (without being too geeky) comments are not part of the core PDF as pages are, they live in a separate level. In addition, you can always add data form, but as the comments, what you type into a form is no field not part of the core PDF.

    The main thing is, we made the change to protect the integrity of the signture, and signature protects the integrity of the document. Thus, changes made to the document are no longer allowed in signed files.
