Re: protected pdf
I just bought a protected pdf from Kobo. I can't access it yet because the website says it has had trouble contacting the retailer but I've already got my receipts fromKobo and Paypal so it's just a matter of time. This is a book I want to read and I will be using my Mac so I will report back. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: protected pdf
Have you gone to the Kobo website and made sure that this is only available as a pdf? I seem to remember that some books had more than one download option and once you buy the book you can download it in any format. Also, have you tried opening your library on the device you are trying to get the book onto and seeing if it just needs to be downloaded? -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: protected pdf
Hi Esther My problem is knowing how to get the pdf into my kobo app on my iPhone. The epub books just sync automatically, but the pdf doesn't appear to. Any ideas?

Re: protected pdf
Hi Lisette, Steve, and Others, I think you can use Adobe Digital Editions to read that PDF. It works on Kobo ePub books that are protected with Adobe's ADE DRM, and it also works on library downloaded eBooks that you can check out on the web from libraries that use OverDrive. (You can read the books in the OverDrive Media Console app on an iOS device and download to that app, but the experience of reading eBooks is much better in the Kobo iOS app.) Given a choice, I usually get ePub books from Kobo, so I'd never tried it with a PDF before this question came up, so I tried it on one of my DRM-free Take Control PDFs. I haven't tried with the updated version, but according to Bryan Jones on the mac-access list, he's found no changes in the way the Mac version performs in the latest version: http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-editions.html The main thing is that you still don't have the ability to navigate and read by paragraph, line, word, or character on the Mac side, although you can use VO-Shift-C to copy the page to TextEdit where you can do this. Bryan claims that this is now possible in the latest update for Windows, although the earlier Windows Adobe Digital Editions Preview versions 1.8 basically had the same features as the Mac versions did. I have to advance pages by pressing the right arrow key, but reading books with Adobe's ADE DRM does work. And it does work for the DRM-free PDF I just loaded, so this should work OK with your eBOOk. I'd say this is fine for leisure reading, but for text books you'd really need to have better navigation options supported. HTH.

Re: protected pdf
Hi, A couple of suggestions that are far less expensive than Steve's below smiles. first, do not write kobo, call them. More often than not they use a customer service filtering email which may have no idea what to do with that message. time for a human. Second, kobo may not be the issue, but the book publisher or author if self published. If it is worth your investment, it is worth it to them that you tell them of the issue. Honestly fixing or breaking into the book does not contribute to people who innocently prevent access like this from learning. More often than not, they are more than willing to learn, perhaps replacing your copy with an unprotected one. Just some ideas really depending on how much you value the money you spent and the information in that book.
