Forgive me for my ignorance but, I recently purchased an eBook only to find that I also had to download Adobe Digital Editions in order to be able to view it on my Mac. The PDF that I downloaded in the process is encrypted.

If I now were to install Calibre, for example, would it interfere with Adobe Digital Editions?
Note that I bought the eBook from http://www.ebook.com. This is the message I get when I try to double click on the PDF file to open it using Acrobat Reader:
