Adobe DRM Help

[Wasgo]

I recently purchased a laptop and want to use the protected PDFs from my pc on the laptop. The problem is, I forget what they're activated under. Is there any way on the PC one to see what account the ebooks are registered under?

I THINK you can find the user account under the tools menu, Ebooks services, I don't have any on this PC so not possitive.

Nope. No luck there. Any other ideas?

Go to help menu
Select search

You should get result VIEWING PERMISSIONS FOR EBOOK

That should tell you how but permissions can be set so that the book is only available on the one PC, this means you may have to go to that PC and use the eBook button, My BookShelf and see if you can copy it or send it. If the permissions are not set for that, you have to purchase another copy or contact the vendor.

Or, you could use your desktop PC that you originally used to buy the books to decrypt them. That way, you can use your files on any computer you want.

But that increases the file size quite a bit, doesn't it?

Thanks for the help. It does look like I can copy it to another PC, but I would need to recall the account I activated it with. Still can't figure out how to look that up.

The ones I've done it to (some of the free downloads, to see if it worked) have had their file sizes increased by between 25 and 100 percent.

That doesn't sound that bad at all. I know you can't explain how to do that on the boards because of the DMCA, but since I'm in Canada and you're in Sweden any chance you could walk me through it somehow, like by email or such?
