Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB circumvented - Page 55

jck · 07-03-2010, 09:34 AM

Everyone so kindly helped Sydney's Mom with step by step simple instructions. I've been trying to follow them but get bogged down. Has anyone compiled these tips into a simple list of instructions (similar to "go to start, chose run, type....") for newbies to follow? I so want to do this that I've already bought a epub book. I have Windows XP so no Vista problems on this computer. Help?

First you have to install Python and Pycrypto. See http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2010...-and-pycrypto/ how to do that. Then you have to hunt for the scripts. The moderators don't allow us to give links to these on this forum. Therefore you have to find them yourself. Googling for ainept epub pdf may help. Then download these scripts and make sure you save them under the proper name. They should end in .pyw, and if your computer stubbornly appends .txt to that name be sure to change the name until the extension is .pyw (make sure that Explorer doesn't hide the .txt). If that is correct the icon for the files should be yellow/blue snake-like. Double click on ineptkey.pyw and if all is correct it should tell you that it got your key.
After that, come back here.

Ugh, frustrated. I've done this decryption in the past and had great success. All with books legally purchased, the same as I am trying right now. I'm on a Mac, 10.6.4, and when I run the inept epub script I'm getting "Error: File name in directory "OEBPS/robe_9781101188."

I'm trolling through the thread now to see if others have encountered it, but thought I'd ask too.

Thank you.

Never mind. I had to do the Mac zip/unzip mentioned on a prior page. Thank you all for your great input into this forum.

I love cabbages has released a new ineptkey and ineptepub. That might be especially interesting for Mac users.

Thanks for the info! I have everything working as needed for the moment, but I'll keep this in mind.

I have read through all 55 pages of this thread and can't find any mention of the fault I'm getting - everything goes as described and reports that the book has been decrypted - but the output type is just file instead of epub decrypted.

I am running Windows 7
ADE 7.2 - authorised and working
Python 2.6.5
Crypto 2.0.1
Ineptepub.pyw

Obviously missing something but what?

I followed the instructions from this site [no direct links allowed - Moderator]

Hope someone can help.

Cheers

Those particular instructions are for decrypting all books in a specific directory using a specific automated script. Not on a book by book basis.

I would simply grab the latest scripts (google IHeartCabbages and inept) and run them. The first will generate your key and the second will ask you for that key file, the file you want to work on, and a name for the converted file.

joblack · 07-24-2010, 11:43 PM

The scripts with an 'a' on the left (aineptpdf, aineptepub) are the automated versions. For a single file you should use the non automated version.

PeteS · 07-25-2010, 11:04 AM

Kevin - thanks for the quick reply - I downloaded ineptepub as you suggested but it was the same version v 5.2 that I was using, I didn't download ineptkey as this had already retrieved the adeptkey.der. Is the key different for different applications?

Cheers

PeteS · 07-25-2010, 11:11 AM

Joblack,

Thanks for the useful tip but I am not using the ones with 'a' on the left and using the ineptkey and ineptepub versions. Any other suggestions I could check would be welcome. When I call up the properties of the finished document - under the heading "Type of file" it just says file ?

KevinH · 07-25-2010, 12:15 PM

Hi,

But the instructions you quoted are only for the a* versions. For normal scripts, you need to actually select the file to convert (not a directory) and you must provide a name for the output. I would make sure the output name includes the .epub extension to be safe.

Have you tried renaming the file you get to have a .epub extension?

Are you properly selecting the file to use for input and properly selecting a output file name?

PeteS · 07-25-2010, 01:26 PM

Kevin,

Thanks - you cracked it !!

I was correctly selecting the file to convert but on the output I was just putting a name with no extension - adding the .epub extension solved the problem. I don't remember seeing that mentioned before but I must admit when trying something new like this I tend to rush ahead. As a former Service Engineer I was always telling new recruits - if all else fails RTFM (read the frigging manual). Much karma

Thanks again

PeteS

I posted a quick how to on stripping ADE DRM on another forum. I did not post it here on MR because I think it is against their forum policy....

I need help also. I am running Windows XP, ADE 7.2 (authorized), Python 2.7, Crypto 2.0.1, ineptpdf8.4.22pyw, and ineptkeyv43.pyw. When I decrypt the file I can open it with anything that opens pdfs on my computer. When I try to open it on my JBL it freezes the whole thing and I have to reset it. The pdf is huge - over 12MB. Could that have something to do with it?
