Glad you got it worked out!

Just so you know, associating a file type means that a particular program will be used to open it. Some file types can be opened by more than one program and in this case you want your .pyw file to be opened by pythonw.exe and not notepad.exe or IDLE.

To associate a file type, right click on it and select "open with" from the menu. From the dialog box that opens, browse to where the pythonw.exe program is and select it then select "ok". Once associated, anytime you click on a .pyw file, it will be opened by pythonw.exe without you having to do anything else.

gotcha...i never knew that it (associated) was referred as such..

I have a nook, and this textbook is a textbook i'd rather not carry around with me, but i can't break the DRM. I've attatched the pdf below. Thanks in advance!

The pdf isn't encrypted at all. Acrobat 9 is displaying it (the first page had an error message).

I seem to be having a fairly unique problem....

I can run and get a key absolutely fine - however when I run the ineptepub.pyw no input box appears.
When I run it through Python and look at the log, I get the error message
"AttributeError: function 'd2i_RSAPrivateKey' not found"

Even stranger is that when I use the ineptpdf.pyw it all works fine.

I am using;

Python 2.6.6
Pycrypto 2.1.0 (for 2.6)
ineptepub 5.2

Anyone got any ideas on why this won't work?!

Cheers

Bud

Welcome to mobileread ....

Perhaps the routine hasn't found the appropriate key ... ?

d2i_RSAPrivateKey is an openssl function. So it might me that you don't have a good openssl installation.

Just want to say a very large thankyou to everyone who has posted help in this thread - I've finally got the last few stubborn books done

(if I can find the posts that specifically helped again, I'll give karma - my brain was too fuddled by the time I went to bed at 5am to do it then )

Glad I'm not the only one who benefited ....

Welcome to mobileread ....

Hope someone will drop by and suggest something for you - but it is beyond my ken ... Good luck....

It's a known bug either in the pdf parser or the pdf dump method (probably not in the decryption routines).

Unfortunately I'm not a PDF expert and more unfortunately no one of the pdf geniuses has stepped up to help.

I would say just freeloading doesn't work all the time (just kidding but as long as no pdf expert is willing to invest some time there will be no solution).

[redbear]

Thanks joblack for the info.Hopefully some pdf geniuses will drop by soon...
further found is the correct page is 6.73x9.35 inch but blank page shows 8.50x11.00 inch

I have some pdf with APS protection. Basically acrobat ask permission to a remote server for opening files.

I found a workaround in a german forum and it worked (i have to setup an apache server on my machine to act like a middle man and intercept comunication between acrobat and remote server).
Now im trying to use inetpdf with a principal key. Problem is i cant find this key in the logs. In ineptpdf there is an example of principal key (for a library in geman) but in my logs there is nothing of that lenght (all bigger).
Under what section are supposed to be this key?

The PrincipalKey in the log file might be longer. As far as I remember they added something on the front or back of the key.

But you do have a key named PrincipalKey (don't mind the length) in the logs? If yes did you de-base64ed it?

Neisklar and I made an estimated guess that the PrincipalKey is available on other servers, too. We had only one example so we couldn't be sure. I would have to reread the exact mechanisms to remember it.

Anyway, you might send me an email. No reason to get MobileRead into trouble ...
