Adobe ADEPT DRM for PDF circumvented - Page 28

Hi all

I am a newbie here.

I try running the ineptkey (with the latest ED version on vista home 32 bit) but I keep getting windowsError.

The best part is the window error code keep changing. So i have no idea what is going on, and how I am going to get the ineptkey to work.

Here is the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Testing\ineptkey.pyw", line 198, in main
retrieve_key(keypath)
File "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Testing\ineptkey.pyw", line 140, in retrieve_key
vendor = cpuid0()
File "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Testing\ineptkey.pyw", line 103, in cpuid0
cpuid0__(buffer)
WindowsError: exception: access violation writing 0x01AE9C00

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a hardware error (memory?) or some of these new memory protection schemes of the vista.crap.

h2chng · 06-17-2009, 10:38 AM

I think so.

I just run the ineptkey on another laptop(window xp) without any problem.

It is working now.

For those who are still trying, you might want to see if it works on another system.

Cheers

First and foremost, thank you to cabbage, also iam i have followed much as i can on this thread, seems like i need the new version, could somebody pm me the link. I cant believe that i paid for a book, and now i am at the library and they wont let me download digital editions, so i need to remove the drm on the pdf, so that i can read it on any computer, the nerve to authorize 6 computers, after i paid for this crap.

thanks
jack

Help, I have a PDF of a cookbook I purchased in 2006 from Amazon. Publisher is Simon & Schuster. Anyway the publisher/author PULLED the book from Amazon so now I can't open the book on anything other than this very old computer. I'm afraid when it dies I'm going to have to re-buy the book. Unfortunately the book is now over $100 when it comes on the used market sigh.......

I was able to get the key without error from ineptkey.pyw it's 609 bytes. I tried to run all three versions of ineptpdf.pyw and all give the same error -5 decompressing data.

Help please?

It looks like it might be an access error. Try running the script as administrator. If that doesn't work, turn off UAC and then run the script. You can leave UAC off. In Vista it doesn't work well anyway.

Can you read the PDF using Adobe Digital Editions on the original computer? If so, it should have been ungraded to the new ADE licence scheme. Perhaps there is a new copy of the file (look in My Documents\My Digital Editions), and that is the ugraded version.

Note that ineptpdf only works on Adobe Digital Editons PDFs, so the first step to recovering your PDF is getting it working in ADE. At that point it (the ADE version of the PDF) should be portable to any machine running ADE, but you may still want to strip the DRM for future compatibility.

Thanks Wallcraft, it is readable in ADE, newest version, but it is not portable to any other computer. Amazon pulled it at the request of the author or publisher. It was encrypted under the older easy activation scheme which tied it to the hardware not the user since in the beginning there were no user accounts.

Now ADE keeps asking me to re-download the content if I wish to read it on any other computer. Since it's an Amazon pull it can't be downloaded again. Hence I am stuck and need to strip the DRM. But although adeptkey appears to properly pull the cert I get an error -5 decompressing data and it stops.

is there a way to fix "There was an error opening this document. The root object is missing or invalid"? what is the most up to date version of ineptpdf?

Thanks for the help

No update available.

I have the root object error as well - but so far, only for one particular file, that appears to decrypt fine, but then when opening it in Adobe Reader, I get that error. If you try to open the decrypted version in Adobe Digital Editions, you get one blank white page.

I will be changing device soon, so this is why I did this - bizarrely enough the book in question (which I legitimately paid for) is about the President of the USA. Maybe he has better security

All the others have converted absolutely fine - PDF and EPUB.

If they moved the root directory to the xref index directory (pdf1.5+) the script doesn't work. There is a work to change it but the structure of such a pdf1.5 is still partly a mystery

doreenjoy · 07-12-2009, 05:47 PM

I've been using the PDF decrypt with great success, but three particular PDFs give the error: "Dict required".

Any pointers?
