Any pointers?

Probably the same problem. The dump method in the script is kind of static it doesn't take some of the the new pdf1.5+ features in account.

Thanks.

So do any of the brainy members of the forum have a fix in the works?

I played around but imho the Adobe PDF Reference isn't very clear about the standard (at least there aren't enough examples for a deeper understanding).

It's not a quick fix because you need to know exactly how a pdf can be structured. Also there is no dump method from the original code (pdfminer) ... that's the work from ILC.

Sure they know - You are bragging about it in a forum for book-enthusiast and surprise most library operators / employees are book-enthusiasts.

There are also publishers and eBook Shop operators among us. Some are hidden and some like beam quite openly. Because they too are often book-enthusiast.

Can I point out that this action that you consider to be utterly immoral--namely the keeping of a library loaned eBook for good--is such that the only certain impact it is going to have is to potentially enrich a single human being's mental vistas for longer?

I find laws that appear to be so unambiguously anti-human as immoral as you find copyright infringement to be.

I do not seek to necessarily convince you--just wanted to bring up another point of view.

Hi

I try to use the ineptpdf.pyw, but when I click "decrypt" I get the following error:

Error: Cyphertext too large.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

I have a pdf that I purchased a long time ago and can't open it now as I have changed hardware - ADE tells me to redownload it but the site I got it from no longer exists. I had hoped this INEPT program would remove the DRM so I can view it again, however when I run v2 I get "Error: Error -5 while decompressing the data".

Can someone provide assistance in rectifying this?

Thanks

MeMyselfAndI,
Theres is another thread opened a few days ago by a member with a similar problem with an old PDF DRM'ed file. Maybe you should try to find it.

MeMyselfAndI · 07-30-2009, 02:46 PM

I think I found the one you are referring to unfortunately it is a little different then my issue. His is 10 years old whereas my PDF file is from 2007 - maybe my original post was a little misleading. If I open the PDF with a text viewer the first line is PDF-1.6, which I'm assuming is the version of PDF used to create it.
Does anyone know what Error 5 indicates -why there would be a problem decompressing the data?

Hi guys,

First off, thanks to i♥cabbages for the great work he has done on removing this most annoying DRM! However, it looks like the only versions of the scripts that I have been able to find after trawling the interwebs are slightly outdated. I'm using ineptepub v2, ineptpdf v2 and ineptkey v3. Could someone please PM me the most up-to-date versions of the scripts.

Thanks in advance!

You can only remove the DRM if you have the key that the PDF was encrypted with. And to get the key, you need ADE to be registered and the PDF to ave used that key. Otherwise, you are out of luck.

Why is it that some files that open correctly in ADE and run through the de-DRM process and say they decrypted properly but then won't open in Acrobat?

Have you tried to convert them to another format? Sometimes converting it to mobi makes it readable.

Ok, so I've come across some problems.

Out of my ebook collection, I've got 10 pdf's that I can't decrypt. Three of them are v1.4 pdf's, two are v1.5 pdf's and the other 5 are v1.6 pdf's.

For the 1.4 and 1.5 pdf's I've tried decrypting these files on both Vista and XP and get different error messages when opening the files. Under Vista, the message reads "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" (v1.4) or "There was an error... There was a problem reading this document (14)". Under XP it's the root object error mentioned else where in this thread.

I understand that v1.6 isn't supported by the script and that some v1.5's appear to have problems, but I thought v1.4 was fully supported. Am I wrong in this assumption?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance
