i have downloaded an ebook in .acsm file but cannot open it in the latest version of Digital Editions.
.acsm files are correctly associated with Digital Editions on my system (i'm running Visa)
when i try to add items to the library, the only allowed extensions are .pdf and .epub.
hope someone can help

Don't use "Add to Library", instead either
- double click on the file
- drag & drop the file on to ADE

that doesn't work. I don't get any error message when I open the file, the text simply doesn't appear in Digital Editions.
The Digital Editions icon for the file doesn't appear in the Windows Explorer folder, despite .acsm being correctly associated with DE. Instead it displays the 'unknown file' icon.

Things may have gotten stuck. I would suggest renaming your My Digital Editions\restore folder to restore2 (While ADE is closed).
Then restart ADE, and then drag & drop the .acsm file onto ADE.

you can solve the problem by drag & drop acsm-file on starticon of ADE on desktop.

I had the same problem and renaming restore to restore2. It worked like a charm! I recommend trying this if u got the problem. BTW my version is 1.7.2.1131.

I had the same problem, I'd try to open an acsm file, but nothing would happen in DE, no error message, nothing. I read somewhere that DE uses IE somehow, so I opened IE (I use Firefox typically), doubleclicked the acsm file, and it opened in DE no problem.

I am having a similar issue. I use a Mac and when I drag the file into DE it doesn't add to my library or open the book. I'm currently running version 1.7.2.1131.
Thank you in advance.

I also have Mac and cannot open downloaded books into ADE. Have tried various methods seen here in forum, like click and drag ascm file in to ADE.Still doesn't work. This is very frustrating. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem. After buying penguin ebook and downloading .acsm file could not open (actually download/open real book file) buy clicking on icon. I reinstalled adobe reader and most recent edition of adobe digital editions on my older Mac (10.4.11). Still nothing. WHAT WORKED- Draging .acsm file icon from my desktop to the icon for adobe digital editions on my toolbar (active/running). Now I'm good to go. Unusual for mac, but there it is.

Thanks for response but I gave up. Turned out the Viewsonic ebook I was
using was defective and has since been taken off market. Bought a Kobo
ereader. It works like a charm and very easy to load books on.

I'm having the same problem. Been working on it for at least eight hours to no avail.

I have the same problem, waste of money and waste of time. ADE doesn't work in my PC (windows 8) no way to read e-pubs.

Hi,
I've tried many times to open the urlinkascm files I bought from a ebookstore editor (epub format) but nothing
works. My pc doesn't have any problem and my connection is ok.
Thanks

It says the book that you are trying to download is expired.
For this error, you need to contact your library, and get a new download link.

Thank you for your answer, but I forgot to say that yesterday I also tried to download a file from your free library. Actually, I needed to be sure the problem didn't come
from my pc or from the ebookstore I bought the epub files from, anyway, when trying to open files I got the same window with the same message. I don't think
files on your library are expired ones too.
I selected France as region and French as language, but I live in a french territory in the South Pacific, may this fact be a problem for reading epub files?
Is there any legal way to convert these urlinkascm files into pdf ones?
Thanks

Hi,
this error comes, when your date, time or timezone on your computer is not correct.

Hi,
I've read about this somewhere in the web, so I changed my pc date and time for the date and time
of continental France but it didn't work either.
Thanks anyway
