Report your findings back ...

I also got forced into installing DE 1.7.1, but did not have any key problems with it.

I noticed that several of the folks looking for help in this thread are new to MR and seem to have the same type of problems that happened when pdfinept and adedecrypt came out in February. Unfortunately, the books that they currently have in DE probably will not work if they delete DE and reinstall, since the current books will not be keyed to the new install.

I find it interesting that so many people new to Mobileread are looking for pdfinept, and do not have ereaders. Someone enlighten me please as to the uses of pdfinept without an ereader.

cheers

I have reinstalled the new DE 1.7.1085 and with it I can (after a first initial delay-crash of the program) read books purchased one year ago for the pevious installation (deleted)- The ineptpdf v 2 works good for that books. Now I have purchased a new book with the new installation, and it doesn't decrypt good with v2, but version 3 of ineptpdf works fine also for this, created with acrobat 1.5..

As far as I can see the problem is the new DE. It saves the key differently in the registry so the key retrieval script doesn't get it right (and as a follow up the decryption scripts won't get it right either).

A quickfix is to register with an older DE, then get the key and Adobe will force to update to a newer version. If Adobe forces you to upgrade right away you've got a problem.

So if you have already registered you should be fine but for a new registration it could fail.

If my suspicions are right it should get problems with epubs as well ...

Can somebody else verify that by installation the newest DE, reregister, download an e-book and try to decrypt?

Would someone mind PMing me the link the the new version? Thanks.

My laptop was recently reformatted and I just got to install Adobe DE 1.7.1 a few days ago and activate it. And so far, the key worked for all the ebooks, both epub and pdf I tried.

Can someone PM me a link to the version 3 of the ineptpdf script. Thanks.

BinaryTB · 05-04-2009, 12:05 AM

I wouldn't mind a PM with the link either, thanks.

I think this makes sense to me via the people that are having problems and those that are not.

You're saying that those of us that have old adeptkeys are not having problems even though we have been forced to upgrade to DE 1.7.1 because the key script no longer finds the information needed to produce the adeptkey.der file, but we have a working key file? Very interesting. You'd have thought that the objective of forcing people to upgrade would be to change/hide the key so that neither the pdf or epub decrypting scripts would work.

thanks for your investigations

No I think that if you registered with an older DE version the key is still in the registry. If you upgrade the newer DE edition will use the old one (some kind of fallback - if Adobe would just change the key (method) the old e-books wouldn't work anymore). If you just installed the new one without legacy values in the registry it will create the new entry.

At the moment its ony a hunch derived from the reports I get. I haven't got these messages for myself so I can't walk through the problem.

If you want to do it right you have to compare an old with a new registry entry and see what the difference is. If that doesn't tell you much you have to debug the new DE which is probably not so much fun as it sounds

.

Anyway, I'm waiting for reproducible results (means the error doesn't come from a 'user failure') - until now we are fine with it.

Tried several books and 'till now no error with the updated script version...big thanks to ILG and J.B.
