Adobe Digital Editions Learn & Support

Important

Ongoing platform support and feature development for Adobe eBook Platform Components (Adobe Content Server, Reader Mobile SDK, and Adobe Digital Editions) is now handled by Wipro Engineering – Connected Services (formerly HARMAN Digital Transformation Solutions (DTS).

As of July 2025, Adobe transitioned these responsibilities to Wipro, including future releases and technical maintenance. Wipro now manages and distributes any new updates, enhancements, bug fixes, and support requests directly.
