Luckily, after some experimenting, I've found a solution.

Download and install the demo found here: http://www.pdf-repair.com/.

Run the program on the corrupted .pdf file (not the original ebook but the decrypted one). You will be shown a preview of the result, but since it's a demo, you can't save the fixed file.

Now open an explorer window and go to C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Local\Temp\

Search for a pdf file that was created today; in my case, it was called 'TMPFF0C.pdf'. This is the fixed file.
still outputs garbage for me
