If there's no way to re-download the PDF with Digital Editions, it may require another version of the script to strip the DRM...
I have 4 PDF books that I CAN NOT re-download and they DO NOT work with ADE (any version). Torques me . I opened one in a hex editor and found characteristics at the end of the file and it includes "PRINT FIRST =". I also found in there that it is using RC4 for security. What do I need to do to the line(s) so that I can open it with Acro 8 or something so I can read these books I bought so long ago.

Also, to confirm, the snake scripts will not work on the file(s) which prompted me to snoop around inside them.

Thank you for any further help on this matter.
