Doesn't he also need a new way to distribute it? Maybe that's part of the holdup...

Bittorrent would do the job nicely.

Well, you would have had a huge donation to compensate for an average IT job. I don't think that ILC had done the adept job for profit, anyway.

Just relax and have a little bit patience. ILC seem to have a lot of stress at the moment. The e-Books won't run away ...

Yes, I can understand stress, especially in these times, but I think another concern he's having is with not exposing his identity to Adobe (quite understandable, too). I'm not sure he'll release anything until he has a method he's comfortable with...

The script is small, so he could just use Tor and upload it somewhere (any place which doesn't require registration). This would take care of all the privacy issues. If he needs to register somewhere, he could just use an anonymous proxy and something like mailinator.com for the email address.

In his blog, he says "Bittorrent unfortunately provides no anonymity unless I e.g. seeded through TOR, which doesn't seem exactly brilliant." I've never actually used Tor, so I'm not sure what his objection is... I guess something will get worked out.

Any news from i♥cabbages? Thank you!

Nope - no sign at the moment.

hint:
He did post the script sources some place.
It is all over the torrent and also links for scripts in the eReader forum.
People can use the same way on epub with the pdf.
I do not test it myself yet.

The updated versions for handling miscreant PDF 1.5 files, though, are not yet in the wild. At least I haven't seen any signs of it. Most of the files you can find were released prior to April 2009 and those have problems decrypting some PDF 1.5 files.

Adobe should be tanks him for fixing thier mess. Knonwing i can un-drm the e-books is the only reasson I buy them....

Has anyone trying running the scripts with linux ? it seams in need ade, that needs winddows.

I have not tried, but I assume key retrieval may require Adobe Digital Editions (which you also need to download the DRMed PDFs) and so does not run under Linux. This is only a one-time step though, and I would expect decryption to work under Linux once you have your key.

Works fine, also for Linux (have you installed pycrypt?). For the key retrieval you can use wine ... one sidemark: you should remember that ILC is doing this for free ... it's a matter of time. If ILC isn't releasing his solution I (or somebody else) will find one eventually ...

Oh i♥cabbages, why have you forsaken us? Are you that busy? Has Adobe finally got its dirty hands on you?

Maybe it's time for another hero to rise up and have a look on the scripts. I suggest eating a lot of cabbages first - that seems to help.

I'm investigating ... how big is your adeptkey.der exactly? 607 or 608 bytes?
