Adobe ADEPT DRM for PDF circumvented - Page 22

elpheaba · 05-04-2009, 07:34 PM

Just because I like to sing in harmony.

Could I get a pm with a link to the new version? Thanks in advance.

tdproffitt · 05-04-2009, 07:51 PM

I would also appreciate a pm with a link to the new version. I've searched around and found several copies of V2, but nothing on V3.

Thanks.

Version 6 of the py script? I'd like to get my hands on that, so PM me

I have ineptkey version 3 and ineptpdf version 3, and I'm still not having any success. Downloaded my ebook using an acsm link from Harper Collins (says PDF-1.6), and had the latest version of ADE installed on Vista. Key is extracted correctly and PDF is decrypted correctly, except when I use Adobe to open it, it gives an error (either 14 or 131).

So I downgraded to the older ADE (1079), but still no go. Any ideas?

The v6 is actually the v5 with adjustments from me (means it rips out some personal information (tracking id) from a certain providers). And the v5 is the official v3 (there were two nonpublic beta releases) so don't be confused.

If you don't care about private information in it you'll be fine.

To your problem: Have you deleted your old registry entry, reregistered your old DE and downloaded the ebooks again.

If yes: Could be possible that the parser doesn't know all pdf-1.6 tags ...

If you were having problems, and get a new script, you should try it on all the books in your library. Even those that were returned. What could it hurt?

You can even script the inept scripts so it automatically decrypts all ebooks in a directory. So you don't get numb fingers after klicking 4.000 times on buttons

Hello everyone

I have spent all evening learning about how to get my PDF ebooks onto my Kindle--looks like I need version 3. I have version 2 and am experiencing the blank page/file damaged error. I would be very grateful if someone could PM me the link as well.

thanks to all the mobileread members who are helping out in the event of problems

unfortunately, i'm still unable to decrypt a file, so i will post the steps i tried just in case someone has an idea of what might fix it:

- i uninstalled the newest version of DE
- i manually searched my registry for all instances of "digital editions" and "adept" and deleted them
- i installed the older version of DE provided on the forum
- at this point, it asks me to authorize my computer (i assume the key has been properly deleted). i authorize.
- i put the encrypted pdf, ineptpdf_v6, ineptkey_v3 in a new folder
- i run ineptkey and extract adeptkey.der
- i try running ineptpdf and get the same error as before "error decrypting book session key"

ps: when i ran ineptpdf_v2, it never complained about the key, however the ouput would be a blank pdf with the same number of pages as the encrypted.

I also am short a version. Could someone please pm me the latest?
Thank you!

Try opening the deDRMed file with Nitro PDF and then saving it to a new file. You should be able to open this new PDF with Acrobat.

Leep · 05-04-2009, 11:36 PM

After you are downloading and authorizing an older copy of DE, are you removing the existing pdf file from the my documents\my digital editions folder and redownloading the book? You should see the re-downloaded book authorizing and then opening in DE.

I think that going back to the old version is working for some people.

joblack · 05-05-2009, 12:14 AM

After a quick conversation with Epiphany I thought: why not??? A short but (at least for some) useful update:

It's based on the actual script release but adds the functionality to decrypt a selected directory.

Still, it has some minor restrictions:

it only recognize files with the extensions pdf or PDF (so no PdF or similar - should be solvable with regexes - but my Python Regex experience is limited)
the output directory has to be created first
it overwrites files in the output directories with the same name
if you want to decrypt only one file you still need 'the old version'
if a pdf doesn't decrypt the program will stop executing (hint: identify them and move them out of the input directory)
no real restriction but if you have a lot of files the window isn't responsive until it has finished. Don't panic
last but not least: Use only on your own risk (so if you burn your mouse (or cat) it's your responsibility)

It really helps simplify Python regex. Helped me out a lot.

I've been having issues with PDF1.6, and using NitroPDF to re-save the unDRMed file just did the trick. Basically, I used version 3 of the scripts and the latest ADE to get the key and decrypt. Previously, when I tried opening the unDRMed files, I ended up with errors 131 or error 14. However, I opened and re-saved the file with NitroPDF, and voila! Success!

Hope this helps someone.
