Convert ACSM to EPUB - is that possible?
If you bought a book online and you find an ACSM file on your computer, you have to convert it to EPUB format beforehand so that you can read the text. We explain how this works in this practical tip.
Load the eBook in EPUB format with the ACSM file
With the ACSM file, you have not yet downloaded the eBook to your computer. It is just the key to the book, so to speak. You have to open the ACSM beforehand with the "Adobe Digital Editions" program so that you can download your eBook in EPUB format to your computer.
- Download "Adobe Digital Editions" and install the program. Leave the check mark at "Open .acsm and .epub with Adobe Digital Editions" during the installation.
- Start "Adobe Digital Editions" and click on "Help"> "Authorize computer ..." in the program at the top of the tab.
- Create an Adobe ID or log in with your data.
- Click the "Authorize" button.
- Now open the ACSM file with "Adobe Digital Editions". Either by double-clicking on the file or by dragging the ASCM file with the mouse into the main window of "Adobe Digital Editions"
- Your eBook will now be downloaded. You can then connect your reader or other device and transfer the book to the device in EPUB format.
If your reader cannot play the eBook and you suspect that copy protection is to blame, we will show you in the next article how to remove the DRM from eBooks. This guide applies to Adobe Digital Editions 3.0.86137
