Upload .pdf to Palm OS (Securty Handler Issue)

May 24, 2008 8:50 AM

I have successfully installed the programs HotSync and Adobe Reader for Palm OS, but I run into a problem when trying to upload an eBook to my Palm OS device. On the PC window of the Adobe Reader program where I should be able to upload my eBooks, I press "Add" to and choose an eBook from the My eBooks folder in My Documents. But then an error message appears saying, "This document has not been encrypted using standard security handler and therefore could not be opened". It seems, of course, that the .pdf file needs to somehow be encrypted in order to go to my Palm, but I do not know how to go about doing this. How can I resolve this issue so that I can read my eBooks with my Palm OS?

    This error means you have a digital rights management problem. I haven't uploaded DRMed documents myself, but I seem to remember that you need to use a menu in the main Acrobat Reader. You may also need to do whatever is needed to licence the Palm for the document.

    Hello Jedi,
    I had the same problem, and I'm pretending, you have already licensed your Palm device to DRMed.
    So your ebook file probably is saved in My documents/MyeBooks.
    In your Adobe Reader (desktop),open File, and then My Bookshelf. There go to "Add file" and browse to it.
    After it appears in the window, click in "sent to Palm device."
    After a short optimization the file can easily pass to your device(PALM), in your next syncronization.
    For me it worked perfectly - ( I found this instructions, on tehe end of the HELP that came with the program).

    I was totally fine with using Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 to prepare Adobe  ebooks to send to my pda until the end of March, when Adobe changed something (according to my local library) and now I get these messages:

    -When trying to open a book with Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.0 (what I had been using prior to the end of March), I got this message:

    "Acrobat could not open 'URLLink-4.acsm' because it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged."

     

      -When trying to add a book to Adobe Reader for Palm OS to send to my pda: "This document has not been encrypted using standard security handler and therefore could not be opened."

     

    Can anyone please tell me what to do?  I talked to three different people with Adobe today, and one said if I installed Adobe Reader 9 or Acrobat 8, I would be able to open the ebooks and prepare them to send to the pda...this was wrong information.  The third person I talked to checked back and forth with technical support and they said I could find the correct information on Adobe Forums, but so far, I haven't found what I need to help with this.

     

    thanks so much!

    I am having the same error message "has not been encrypted using standard security handler and therefore could not be opened" and I understand it's a digital rights management issue.  I have adobe digital editions 1.7 on my computer along with adobe reader 9.  Based on what I've been reading Adobe reader 7 would solve my problem but it is not available for download anymore (at least on a vista computer).  Adobe digital editions doesn't let me send anything to a palm and neither does adobe reader 9 (there is no bookself in the program - it's in digital editions).  How do I proceed from here?  Thanks so much.
