The Dejav Vu was related to the pdf format (he has already published a script for epub before).

Oh, and DRM sucks!

Exactly my sentiments

I've cursed at ADE@Mac all the time, not anymore

They try to control - they get a rebellion

But they never get it

Is version 2 of the KEY script and version 3 of the NET script the latest ones?

I can liberate just fine... but when I convert from PDF to PRC, formatting is gone and sentences run on together

That's just an inherent problem using .pdf to convert to any ebook format.

Did you use calibre or Mobipocket Creator to convert the .pdf to .prc? Sometimes the other can work better, except of course, when the original .pdf is comprised of just scanned images of pages.

In that case, PDFRead works well!

Mobipocket Creator... Calibre converts to PRC?! I thought it hated anything Amazon

I'll have to try PDFRead... thanks for the tip!

No, the defection occurred when Kovid got a Kindle...

calibre does convert to .mobi now!

But, just so that you will know, the resulting .prc will only be images or screenshots of the pages; no text will be there! See this thread for using PDFRead with the Kindle.

Kovid got a Kindle...

Sold my Kindle 1 for $500 in December when it was out of stock and about a couple of weeks before K2 was announced. Waiting for Kindle DX now and using my iPod Touch in the mean (blasphemy

).

Argh then I guess PDFReader won't do... going to try the new Calibre now.

I have found Mobipocket Creator better for converting from PDF to Mobi. I know I'm probably doing it wrong, but since MC works, I am happy with that. But Calibre rocks for newspapers!

Hi, just stumbled upon this site via google...I have a pdf file i purchased from ebooks.com and is practically useless since i cannot even print it--what's the use of buying it?!

Can anyone help in converting it to regular pdf?

joblack · 05-11-2009, 09:38 PM

The inept script has still some bugs in it.

Most of the pdfs work without a problem but I've found some inconsistencies (mainly in the dump method). In rare occasions (at the moment because these kind of pdfs (>= pdf 1.5 and xref stream directory present) are very rare) it doesn't create a working pdf.

It also doesn't work if you haven't got an empty or no trailer (that occures if you have the trailer information in a xref stream directory) - then you will get a 'nor root found'-error.

If you get these circumstances they are known but these adjustments aren't worked out yet.

If you can read it with Adobe Digital Editions, but not with other PDF readers, then it has ADEPT DRM and ineptpdf.pyw can most likely strip the DRM.
