Adobe Digital Editions
Use the free Adobe® Digital Editions software to read and organize eBooks and other publications.Adobe Digital
Editions is a separate web-based rich Internet application (RIA) that replaces the eBooks features in previous versions
of Acrobat.
When you install Adobe Digital Editions, your existing bookshelf items are automatically imported and available
within the new Adobe Digital Editions bookshelf experience. You can also manually import individual PDFs into your
Adobe Digital Editions bookshelf.
Note: When you open an eBook for the first time, the Adobe Digital Editions software is automatically installed on your
computer.

system, or on a network from within a web browser.
Note: The Organizer and Organizer-related commands are not available in Acrobat X and later.

• Choose File > Open, or click the Open File button in the toolbar. In the Open dialog box, select one or more
filenames, and click Open. PDF documents usually have the extension .pdf.
