Print adobe digital editions software#If people had not been FORCED to use what is basically still an unfinished piece of beta software and given no other choice other than uninstall Reader 8 and reinstall 7.0.9 then I would not have posted this entry. If Adobe had not decided to remove eBooks support from Reader 8.x, I would not be complaining about Digital Editions here. But my basic complaint is not about DRM itself, it’s about the seemingly arbitrary decision to remove choice from users. Thanks for posting on my modest blog and thanks for the links. Why should eBooks be any different in that regard. I mean, with a paper copy, there are no restrictions on how, when and where I can crack it open and read it. I can probably figure what I need to know about Flash CS3 without the book but I paid for that book and I should be able to open it in any way I can. And I would probably be singing the praises of the book I bought or Flash itself. I’m usually a fan of Adobe (and Macromedia) and I’m not the kind of guy that complains about that sort of stuff, at least not publicly. I’m very interested in that info although, at first glance I really see no valid reason to remove choices for users. They are similar files as the Dreamweaver beta used to save on the desktop when it crashed.Īlso, thanks for pursuing why the ability to support eBooks was removed from Reader 8.x. Also, I have indeed tried uninstalling from Add/Remove program and cleaning up everything I found related to DE (which wasn’t much) and that didn’t help.Īs I said in the thread, I have crash logs (.mdmp files) I could send anyone that would have a use for them to track down the problem. Apparently I assumed wrong but I don’t think this is the problem.įirst is that, you’ll see in my growing thread on the forum that other people have done fresh instals of DE 1.0 (without a prior beta present) and they have the same issue as me. I assumed that the installer would recognize the beta that was installed and warn me of any potential issues of installing 1.0 over it. Print adobe digital editions upgrade#When I fired up DE yesterday morning, the app gave me a dialog right away saying I had to upgrade now and I did. Print adobe digital editions install#I have indeed uninstalled the beta version but not before having been forced to install the "final" version. At least they will always be available when I need them… Way to go Adobe! I will definitely go back to buying paper copies only of any future books I buy. To say that I’m pissed that I apparently wasted $40 on an eBook I cannot even open is an understatement. No matter how I uninstall and reinstall it, reboot or delete its config folder, that piece of junk just will not start and keeps crashing almost as soon as I start it. The thing is, after installing this so called "final" version, it crashes right after I start it. That’s a whole other level of stupidity I’m not going to get into here. I won’t even go into the braindead decision to force customers who buy eBooks from Adobe Press to install and use beta software on their work machines. The version I was using before was a beta. Print adobe digital editions download#This morning I tried to fire up Digital Editions to keep reading my eBook and I was prompted with a dialog forcing me to download the final release. But at least, it enabled me to open my ebook and read it. ![]() I HATE100% black user interfaces, especially in a utilitarian piece of software like this. Print adobe digital editions plus#For me, Digital Editions was slower than Reader and had a clunky interface… plus it’s all black and you cannot change that. This new Digital Editions things is just a far from subtle effort on Adobe’s part to push their Flex/RIA platform. Why on earth did Adobe think we needed yet another piece of reader software when we already had a perfectly good one that can do the job? That already bugged me quite a bit because I already have Acrobat Reader 8.1 installed and I quite like it but apparently, Adobe decided that unlike Reader versions 6 and 7, version 8 would not support and would not be able to open eBooks. ![]() When came the time to download it I was prompted to install a new reader application called Digital Editions. This was the first time I bought an eBook and the only reason I did was because I wanted it right away and didn’t want to wait for delivery. Last week, I purchased an eBook from Adobe Press (Flash CS3 related) because I wanted to get back up to speed with Flash since I’ll need to use it for upcoming projects. ![]()
