The problem has to do with the fact that some downloaded Adobe eBook files need to be unzipped and then rezipped again before decrypting them on a Mac. eBooks in the ePub format (even if they are ADEPT-encrypted) are basically ZIP files. They've been zipped into an archive containing a signle folder that holds multiple individual files. The entire archive has been compressed to make it smaller. For some reason, the
ineptepub.py decryption software on a Mac can't do the unzipping properly, preparatory to doing the decryption. But if you unzip the archive and then rezip it, you can feed the rezipped version to
ineptepub.py and it will work.
The key thing to do seems to be to follow the directions in
post #60.
You will work on a
copy of your eBook, not the original. I suggest putting the copy on the Desktop. It has to be renamed in Get Info, in the Finder, so that it has a .zip extension replacing .epub. Then, when you double-click the renamed .zip file, the Mac will unzip it into a folder on the Desktop.
Post #60 refers to
this post in another thread, in which you will find a downloadable AppleScript "droplet" that you will download and unzip to become an
ePub Zip 1.0.2 icon on your Desktop. Then you will drag the unzipped eBook archive, now a folder on your Desktop, to this droplet in order to rezip it. It becomes a file on the Desktop. This file has an .epub extension. You can use this file as the Input File to
ineptepub.py.
