If your library has requested this service, you will be able to download ebooks
using Adobe DRM.

In order to download an entire Digitalia document, you will first need to install
Adobe Digital Editions, a free software program, on your computer or device:

http://www.adobe.com/es/products/digital-editions/download.html

You can read and annotate downloaded e-books offline on your computer, and
transfer them to supported devices. You can have up to 5 Digitalia e-books
downloaded at a time and the loan period is 20 days. You can return early.

1. Downloading books for the first time?

If it’s your first time downloading a document onto your computer via Adobe
Digital Editions:

I. We recommend setting up Adobe Digital Editions on your computer before


you start downloading from Digitalia,

II. Or you can do all the steps together:

- From your computer, go to your Digitalia site

- If you aren’t already, sign in to your personal Digitalia account.

That is, click the “Sign In” button at the top right and sign in. If you don’t have a
personal account, create one here: http://www.digitaliapublishing.com/registro

- Find the book you want to download

- Click the “Adobe DRM Checkout” button

- Select the format (pdf or epub) you want to download

A file “URLLINK.acsm” will download onto your computer.

If you haven’t already done so, you will need to install Adobe Digital Editions at
this point.

Once Adobe Digital Editions is installed, go to the downloaded file and choose
Open with Adobe Digital Editions
