Trouble converting special kind of pdf
I bought a book online, not from any big retailers or anything. It is a book for studying questions.
What I want to do is be able to put it onto my kobo h2o, but the problem is that I got a weird file once downloading the book. When I first downloaded the book I had to download 4 files and one of them was a .exe file that I had to use to enter the key for the book. After entering the key it activated the pdf file but instead of a normal pdf file it got saved as example.pdf.mmf I cannot figure out how to add this book to calibre in order to add it to my kobo. Any help would be great. |

You bought a product from them. Did the claim it was convertible? The fact it came in parts leads me to believe a proprietary (DRM) reading system is involved. |

Many study/course guide publisher products only work on a computer and while it may be a PDF underneath it's probably got some kind of proprietary DRM and/or is locked into some kind of special "viewer", sometimes Flash based. I mean I suppose the OP could try renaming it (working with a copy of the file) to a .pdf instead of a .mmf, but it's unlikely to be that easy. Looking at their website they basically provide very little info, but I saw no mention of using their materials on a reader or tablet which you'd think they'd address if it was easily possible.
