I'm trying to download a library book & need a program to open an acsm file.  Are there any available that I don't have to pay to clean my registry files?

    Just to add clarification:

     A .acsm file is a "Adobe Content Server Message File." It can be opened by Adobe Digital Editions.

    There is a free Digital Editions 1.7.2 installer that can be downloaded  from the Adobe website.

    http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/?PID=3081440

    NOTE: Even if you have a different eReader software other than Digital Editions, such as Kobo Desktop, you may still receive an ACSM file when downloading an eBook. However, you still must install Adobe Digital Editions to download the eBook and then it can be read and transferred to your eReader device.

    Hope this helps.

    This is excellent advice & works in UK - for e-libraries it is usually available from a button on website.  HOWEVER BEWARE - when I first tried to open an .acsm document I got a message that Windows did not recognise & asked if I wanted to search web.  That led me to a recommendation that there were problems with my PC library & that a Clickbank software product RegSERVO 1could solve - it was under 10 Dollars - however my credit card receipt shows £32 & it did not solve the problem!  So careful folks - use Adobe because it works!

    I just downloaded the Adobe Digital reader and it won't open the file I downloaded from the library.  What am I doing wrong?

    Marilyn, Someone redirected your link to a secondary site. I had to close the tab and click it a second time to get the RIGHT DOWNLOAD

    Thanks for the tip!
