Can't navigate book

I've downloaded a book, but can't turn pages, or navigate book via table of contents. I had a similar issue with another textbook reader and I had to change my preferences to 'use software based rendering' but I can't see how to change preferences in Digital Editions.


Thanks,

Danielle

I have a new hp ENVY, 17". Win 10. Believe me, I authorized and deauthorised, installed uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times... Nothing...

I spent 2 days on that thing, Nothing. I called Adobe, they wouldn't help. Some online help people were nicer and tried, but they do the same thing we do, read the forums. I am not sure they can help... The support team that initially develod the program all moved on and I found them on linkedin in management positions... and they didn't train or hire anyone to help us, regular people, with our stupid ebooks and epubs trying to give our kids education so that they don't end up poor. The only way around it is to remove the time security on the files-DRM (research it thorough, there are programs that do that), and make them independent and then use other epub software to see Epub files and another to see PDFs, while keeping ADE as a Receiver. They are not updating it, and by the way support staff was talking they are on the way to discontinue it , like a flash. I don't know why local libraries don't get the message. Please let me know if you found a solution. It is ineresting, as there are some PDFs that ADE would open...I tried to compare the preferences of that file to the other files... nothing, no difference. There has to be....

what is the format of the book on which you are facing this issue (pdf or epub) ?

You can check the book type in item info dialog.

Please check the following:

1. Open the file in Adobe Digital Editions.

2. Go to File -> Item Info

3. Check the book name and extension under "Location"
