How to Convert ACSM to PDF

When you purchase an e-book from a public domain or public library, what you get is an ACSM file. To read ACSM files on more devices, the best way is to convert ACSM to PDF, which is supported by near all e-book reading devices. As a result, you may find your e-books downloaded in ACSM format can’t be opened by your e-book reader. How can we do the conversion? ACSM, short for Adobe Content Server Message, is a form of digital rights management used by Adobe to distribute Adobe e-books. It is actually not an e-book format but the link to the e-book. 

Steps to Convert ACSM to PDF with Adobe

Adobe’s free desktop software, Adobe Digital Editions (ADE), is the recommended tool to read ACSM files. Once you open your ACSM files with ADE, they’ll be immediately saved as PDF or EPUB documents. Here are the detailed steps:

Step 1. Install Adobe Digital Editions. Click here to download and install Adobe ADE to your computer.

Step 2. Authorize Adobe ADE with your Adobe ID. Launch ADE, go to Help->Authorize computer and input your Adobe ID and password to authorize the current computer. If you don’t have an Adobe ID yet, simply click “Create an Adobe ID” and follow the steps to create one.

Step 3. Open ACSM File with Adobe ADE. Now find your ACSM file and right-click the file, select “Open with > Adobe Digital Editions”. Once the ACSM file is opened, Adobe ADE would automatically download it as an EPUB or PDF file. And you can find the file under C:\Users\User Name\Documents\My Digital Editions.

However, sometimes you may get epub files instead of the expected PDF files. 

In addition, the books you download from ACSM files can only be read with the same Adobe Account. If you plan to read these books on other devices, you’ll have to remove your Adobe Account in the former computer.

Hereby, we'd like to recommend you another eBook converting tool to accurately convert your original ACSM files to PDF format and read them on unlimited devices.
