[QUOTE="cats_claw, post: 1606170, member: 8639"] The Acrobat Reader 6.0 is free to everyone and a download from [url]http://www.adobe.com[/url], yes there have been some problems activating it for DRM. I had this problem for two days, but it wasn't an e-book or DRM issue, it turns out it is an Acrobat issue. Not the fault of the DRM standard or DrivethruRPG. (If you tried to activate the DRM in Acrtobat Reader 6.0 (free) or the full version of Acrobat Standard or Pro 6.0, and it just flashed a download window and then nothing happens, then the simple fix is to empty your temporary internet files and then it works fine. Adobe knows about this and are working to rememdy it -- so they say.) I suppose if you run Linux or Mac then you can be pissed, but that's what happens when you choose an operating system or platform that only supports about 5% of the software market. (and yes, I didn't mean one that only 5% of the software market supports) Linux is great. I use it on my servers. Its stable, solid and very edgy-hacker-anti-corporate-individualist. But when you install it, you know you're only gonna be able to run a small percentage of the available software out there. Still -- if you can open the DRM PDFs with adobe 6.0 (like 98% of the crowd here should be able to do) then what is the big difficulty people are having with it? I'd really like to find out because I don't see any glaring issues with it. [/QUOTE]
