I found the same was true for me.

I'm also seeing this problem. I'd previously used ineptpdf to decrypt a purchased copy of Anathem and it worked well, so I went ahead and bought a McGraw-Hill textbook. Of course it can't be decrypted, but I can still use it in ADE. From what I can tell, v5 and v6 are only "feature enhancement" releases and do not contain any bugfixes. Too bad ILC is MIA.

I'm working on it but I have not so much spare time (job, studies, ...). If you have a problem on a special pdf you can PM and I will try to solve it.

Anyway, don't expect a solution in a few days I'm still searching for a pdf expert who could explain some things (special cases) in a pdf I don't understand yet ...

I got the 'root object missing or invalid' error after decrypting one of my books. The resulting file, in other words, is corrupted. Other books came out fine, but this one, it seemed, was lost in the shackles of that stupid Digital Editions contraption that doesn't allow me to read books I've paid for the way I want to.

Luckily, after some experimenting, I've found a solution.

Download and install the demo found here: http://www.pdf-repair.com/.

Run the program on the corrupted .pdf file (not the original ebook but the decrypted one). You will be shown a preview of the result, but since it's a demo, you can't save the fixed file.

Now open an explorer window and go to C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Local\Temp\

Search for a pdf file that was created today; in my case, it was called 'TMPFF0C.pdf'. This is the fixed file.

This is a quickfix and it shows that the pdf is mostly intact (so the decryption is working) and only some metadata are wrong or missing.

But that's no long term solution - especially for more than one e-book.

In the past I've had no problems with the inept python scripts but occasionally I now encounter DE pdf's that I can't strip the drm. Any suggestions?

discusaigon · 09-29-2009, 11:49 AM

I got the same problem with an ebook I bought.

it does seem to work but I cannot open the final pdf, I got an "error14"

pdf repair didn't work either.

yoadobe · 09-30-2009, 11:18 AM

Could someone please please PM me a link to the latest ineptpdf/ineptkey files?

I have v2, and they work beautifully on some files but not all.

Thank you very much in advance

You mean the one that disappears every 5 days and can only be found with Yahoo but not with Google.

Besides: Bittorrent is no trouble - it is an excellent download tool used by Eclipse, KDE, OpenOffice.org, Word of Warcraft and yes most Pirates.

No it can't be found - it finds you
