Why does ADE 1.8.3 let me download and view EPUB but not PDF or ACSM?

Aug 8, 2012 5:13 PM

I've got ADE 1.8.3 installed and authorised with my AdobeID on a 32-bit Win7 machine (on a corporate network).

 

I have also downloaded the three sample EPUB ebooks from (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/digitaleditions1-8.html) without any issues.

However when I try to download the three sample PDF ebooks from that same link, I get the following error:

I also get the same error when trying to download ACSM or PDF ebooks from EBSCOHOST...

If I download EPUB sample ebooks from other sites they also open fine in ADE so it seems like a bug with specific file types.

 

Anyone else have this issue?

 

Look forward to hearing some suggesstions

    ASCM's are not books, but a way to get books.  Obviously a server problem to wherever you licensed the book.  The ACSM is license info and points to the sites servers that run a copy Adobe Content server and request the actual book.

     

    I Just confirmed a book from my library which uses ACS, using ADE 1.8.3.
