The Calibre plugins from Apprentice Alf, once setup, which is not too onerous, are a transparent solution which work automatically whenever you import a book to Calibre.
Assuming, however, that you wish to download the adobe drm epub from Kobo and read on Aldido without removing DRM:
1. You need an Adobe ID and password. If you do not have one, then visit Adobe and get one.
2. With Aldido you can apparently avoid using the computer altogether by using your Android browser to download the epub file directly from Kobo, which will in fact not be an epub but an .acsm file. One you have authorised Aldiko with your Adobe ID you can simply import the .acsm file to Aldiko and it will download and let you read the EPub in Aldiko.
3. To do it the way you describe in your first post, you will need to download Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) to your computer, and authorise it with your Adobe ID. You should also authorise Aldiko with the same Adobe ID.
4. You then select the Adobe DRM Epub (or if you must, pdf) option for the book you want from Kobo, which will result in your browser downloading an .acsm file. When you add this file to ADE (if you are on Windows you can simply drag and drop) it will automatically download the DRM protected Epub file which you can read on your computer in ADE. ADE also gives you options to transfer the files to a reader via USB, or you can simply locate where ADE has stored the epub (in Windows usually <user>\My Documents\My Digital Editions) and transfer via SDCard. Provided Aldiko has been authorised with the same Adobe ID you can import the EPub directly to Aldiko.
