Could you pm text/link to text (as well as to version 3)?

Thanks.

today, i purchased another book from another online vendor just to try ineptpdf_v3, and it worked!
i think the error that i was getting earlier (error decrypting book session key) might have to do with that first book i was trying.

thanks for all your help!

Searched google but doesn't (want to) find anything about ineptpdf.pyw, version 3.

You're right, just tried it, Google doesn't return a match, but definitely did. Guess Google's crawlers are just slow.

Google only finds it if you have linked it from a well known site. You can add websites manually ...

OK, I don't want to be a novice forever. Can someone explain this to me without puns (I'm really bad at them)

Previously, when I tried opening the unDRMed files, I ended up with errors 131 or error 14. However, I opened and re-saved the file with NitroPDF, and voila! Success!

Hope this helps someone.

You probably have some new feature missing in the decrypted pdf. It's a solution but not a nice one. Can you specifiy which book you bought on which website?

MobileRead has 278 smileys, one of which is the name of a famous search site. Hovering your mouse over a smiley brings up its name.

Bought the book from Harper Collins.

Okay, I've adjusted the epub script. Now it has an automated version as well ...

I was locked in mortal combat last night trying to convert a PDF to prc.

Half of the jargon is way over my head (OK so I'm dumb).

I do like the idea of being able to convert the whole file though.

Will get back into the trenches and do battle again today.

Ok, I just removed my registry and reactivated with the new version of ADE. Script works fine so far.

So they haven't changed the key saving scheme. Very strange - could be that some have more than one key in the registry (the key retrieval gets the first it finds).

People who have problems with this bookkey thing, inspect your registry for more than one entry like

privateLicenseKey

in the

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept]

(To open the registry -> Start -> Execute -> regedit (under XP don't know if that works for Vista)).

PS: I've got another suspicion: Have the ladies/gentlemen changed their hardware in the past and had to reactivate the ADE?
