Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB circumvented

Possibly. If you can open the PDF file with Acrobat Reader, then it's no longer DRM-ed.

Okay, consider me hopeless. Using i heart cabbages for reference, I downloaded and installed Python 2.6, installed PyCrypto for the same version, created a python file for ineptkey (version 5) and ineptepub (version 5.2) and made sure that their names were correct, but whenever I double click on ineptkey the .der file never shows up.

Both the ineptkey and ineptepub files are in my C:\Python26 file, is the .der file supposed to show up somewhere else? Or am I doing something else wrong? Any advice would be welcome.

EDIT:

Okay, I'm a dumbass that doesn't know how to use Python correctly. I figured out that I was copying the ineptkey file into the wrong python window 30 seconds after I posted this. /facepalm

You shouldn't copy the python file to a python window, whatever that may be. Just put them somewhere, e.g. on your desktop and double-click on them. Preferably do not put them in C:\Python26 as they will disappear if you have to reinstall Python. And the adeptkey.der file probably will be on your desktop, although I am not sure of that. You can always use the search function to find it.

When I open the Inupt Epub Decrypter, the key file is missing. I ran the Inept Key file script and got the message "Key successfully retrieved to adeptkey.der".

Yes.

I am going to try one more time to break the pdf down into smaller pdfs to see if that works. After that I don't know.....

You have to look where the adeptkey.der file is stored. On my Mac it will be stored in the same directory as the script. Ineptepub has a button in the right part (with three dots) where you can browse for this file. If you can't find it in the current directory then use the search function of your computer to locate it.

It's the same with my Iliad (but they have to be huge to be a problem).

The script can handle PDFs with unlimited size. If it is filling the memory it (or more precisely Windows) will start to swap on the hard disk. I must admin I saw such a PDF bigger than 1 GBytes only once.

Yay! I got this to work for me! Next question... does anyone know if there is a way to use these scripts from a batch file? I usually purchase several eBooks at a time and with Mobipocket would liberate the ebooks a folder at a time rather than one ebook at a time as it seems I must do with ineptepub. Thanks.

Search for a script that starts with "a" (aineptepub). It'll decrypt all the books in the folder of your choice.

i would like to ask, if i would like to use it on pdf to convert to either kindle or nook, which one should i use?

For PDFs, use ineptpdf.pyw. The DRM-free PDF can be read directly on a Kindle or Nook - or you can convert to MOBI/ePub using Calibre.

It has to be said, though, that PDF files rarely convert well to other formats. A considerably amount of manual editing is generally required on the resulting file to get a good result.

Ever seen a similar script for ignoble? I've been grabbing the weekly free classics and a script that does a folder at once would be a lot easier.
