Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Dutch, and Portuguese (Brazilian)
- Installer - The install process gained an additional step, which is to download an installer instead of the application itself. Also for those having problems with the install process, the installer is available as a standalone download from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishing/

    Jim, Is there a way to reformat the acsm files so that I can read them on my Sony Palm OS pda?  I had always been able to read Adobe ebooks on it with Adobe Reader for Palm OS until the end of March, when Adobe changed everything.  I did install Calibre, but can't figure out how to reformat the file.

    Thanks!

    No.

    First it's not the .acsm files that you want to convert.  The .acsm files are just temporary purchase tokens to start the download and licensing of the real pdf or epub file.  It's that file (either pdf or epub) that has all the content, however it is protected with ACS4 DRM and as such can only be viewed by ADE or by supported device such as the Sony Reader 505 or 700.  While there are quite of few of our device customer that are coming out with new devices and software, none of the have announced plans for supporting PalmOS.

    Hi Jim

    Great to see that Adobe are continually improving. Can you tell us if this version has fixed the printing problem that happens on Macs?

    Too bad the program's still rubbish. Can't even display books properly in two page view. Odd numbered pages go on the RIGHT.

    If you are having problems with the Flash based installer, you can try the standalone installer available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishing/
