Hello:

I am trying to read Digital editiotns on my pocket PC, advice found on the internet says I need to Activate Acrobat 7, and my PPC, then I can send the files over.
So I activate Acrobat 7, then try to Activate my PPC, the Adobe DRM activator website says I don't have the right version of software, I go through the rigmarole and end up with Adobe Reader 9 instead, This then dutifully updates my Digital Editions to V1,7 as well.
Now the 'Activate mobile device' option has vanished from Reader 9 (looks like it is only there in Acrobat 7), I cant get the PPC Acrobat activated as the Activator file from the website will not run (seems they only work withAcrobat 7), and Digital Editions, has no options to either activate my PPC, or send books to it (looks like it knows nothing of mobile devices at all to me)
I suspect it really should not be this difficult....

Has anyone managed this? Do I need Acrobat 7, or Reader 9 - what is the difference anyway (apart from about 15MB on the download)
Thanks for any help...
