- Activating Adobe Reader
- In order to read digitally protected PDFs (like the Adobe e-books found at this site), you will need to activate your copy of Adobe Reader.
There are 2 types of activation:
- 'E-Z Activation' will automatically take place the first time you download and attempt to open a digitally protected PDF. Once E-Z Activation is complete, your browser displays the 'Adobe DRM Activator' screen, notifying you that activation was successful and prompting you to complete 'Named Activation', if desired. If you intend to use Adobe e-books on multiple machines, follow the steps listed to complete the Named Activation process. Alternatively, you can complete Named Activation at a later time through the Adobe Reader interface with reference to the information below.
-and-
- 'Named Activation' is required if you want to use digitally protected PDFs on multiple machines. To complete Named Activation, you will be required to activate each machine on which you intend to use protected PDFs to the same Microsoft Passport account. The first time you download and attempt to open a digitally protected PDF, E-Z Activation will automatically take place and your browser will display the 'Adobe DRM Activator' screen. This screen notifies you that activation was successful, and also prompts you to complete Named Activation, if desired. To complete the Named Activation process, follow the steps listed on the 'Adobe DRM Activator' screen.
Note that you can complete Named Activation at a later time through the Adobe Reader interface as follows:
- While connected to the Internet, double-click the Adobe Reader icon to open Adobe Reader.
- From the Adobe Reader menu bar, select File > Digital Editions > Authorize Devices.
Your browser will open the 'Adobe DRM Activator Site' web site.
- Follow the instructions at this site to activate your copy of Adobe Reader.
Currently, up to 6 machines (Windows, Macintosh, and/or supported PDAs) may be activated to the same Passport account.
