I am a little confused about the difference between Adobe epub ebooks and .pdf file ebooks.

The library books that I checked out are .pdf file ebooks.

I can try renaming the .pdf files to .ascm files. I am willing to try anything. I got really frustrated last night when I was trying to figure this out. I just googled .pdf .ascm and found more instructions here, so I can work on this tonight...

Why do I get a file with the extension .acsm when I download an Adobe PDF eBook?
When you start to download an Adobe PDF a small file with the extension .acsm is first downloaded. This is used by Adobe Digital Editions to send the activation ID to the delivery server which will use that ID to generate an encrypted PDF eBook, which is then downloaded to your PC. If your computer is asking you where to save the .acsm file then your Adobe Digital Editions may not be installed correctly or not yet authorized.
The computer asked me where to save the library ebooks. Hmmm. Maybe my library ebooks went to the wrong location on my PC.
