Hey fellow Kobo users,

I had my Kobo Aura for quite a while, an decided to add some text books to it. They are usually PDFs files, and differ in size. Page wise, they are readable and I mainly want to use them to revise single chapters on my commute. But I have a problem with a certain PDF file, which is around 250MB in size. The reader refuses to open it, stating that it's protected by Adobe Digital Rights Management. I found this odd, since all other PDFs worked fine so far. But I decided to go ahead and install ADE. The weird thing now is that ADE displays "viewing: on any decive" and "licensed to: unknown". I can open this PDF perfectly fine on my PC. Are there known issues with large PDFs and Kobo readers? And are there workarounds? I'd like to keep it in PDF, since the text is set in two columns...

Best regards
Chris
