Hi. I'm trying to download this document : http://www.doc88.com/p-7082906882637.html or this : http://www.doc88.com/viewer.swf?p1=7082906882637 . Seems to be a

simple swf file (embedded in the page) named viewer.swf. Actually this is only a player, the real  content is probably an image of a pdf file ( you have to purchuase the document in order to download the file). After a few attempts i have downloaded a  4mb long .ebt file..I don't know how to open the file and i think it's the document i need..Some googling reveals that this is an old format, opened by "adobe acrobat ebook reader" , but until now i haven't found this old software. Digital Editions doesn't recognize the file..How can i open the .ebt file?

thanks

    I haven't got any .ebt files so I can't check if this is correct, but you could try an older version of ADE.

    I don't know if that is the same as "adobe acrobat ebook reader"

    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.

    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)

    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
