Calibre can put DRMed book on disk. It doesn't need to be able to open it in order to copy it from disk to your devices.

As other posters said, Calibre can even write metadata to some DRMed files, because in some formats metadata is not encrypted.

Calibre can even work with DRMed files, even remove DRM. But for that you need third party plugins. Kovid doesn't provide any help with DRM removal (he even says so in his signature). But, the plugin infrastructure in Calibre is so well designed, that various other hackers can develop plugins for many, many things.

Here on this forum I can't provide better instructions, and besides, I have no personal experience with DRM removal using Calibre plugins. I have very limited experience from removal DRM in general (I removed from a book I have purchased). If you were to google for better answer, you might want to ask aprentice alf.
