There is a separate thread for ineptepub.pyw, but the PDF and ePub scripts work the same way. For python, see Install Python Windows. Otherwise, there is little to add to i♥cabbages's blog post. If you get the scripts from Pastebin, you will need to rename them from xxxx.txt (or whatever) to ineptepub.pyw (say). To "run" a .pyw script all you need to do is double click on it just like any standard Windows program.

@blueoregon I went to the website you asked about, and looks to me like a way for a hacker to get free reign access to your computer. Wouldn't recommend using it. I'm on a Mac, and the site asked me to give it unrestricted access to my computer (as if!). Definitely seems fishy to me, don't use it!

A question for everyone: What's the method of using the pdf/ePub scripts on a Mac? I don't have easy access to Windows. I know how to strip DRM off of prc files on my Mac, but don't quite understand how to do it for pdf/ePub files. Thanks for any help!

I'm not sure there is presently a way to fetch your ADEPT key on a Mac. So I would recommend running a virtual box with Windows installed on it. Sun Microsystems' VirtualBox is a nice (free) option but you will need a copy of Windows to install on it.

There is a thread for that, see ePub & PDF decryption on Mac OSX. The latest post (#65) even has a way of getting the key without using a Windows PC.

First of all, thank you all very much! My mother is 83 years old, and just can't manage the whole downloading thing. And since I live 4 hours away, I can't go to her house to help her. But, using this method I am able to download for her, burn them to cd, mail them to her, then she can read them on her computer. I don't read them, and after she reads them once they are deleted.
But, my question is, do I have to get a key every time? This method is working with most books, but some are showing up as corrupt, but will open fine with DE initially. Any ideas?
I wish companies would realize how difficult they make getting ebooks for the elderly.
Thanks again!

Getting the key is a one time thing and the same key works for either epub or pdf. The decrypting script is, of course, different for each format.

Not sure which scripts you have and are using, but those of us using the later scripts are not having any issues.

cheers

silverraven · 10-29-2009, 07:26 PM

Well, since I can't ask where you get the scripts, if I pm you my email would you send them to me, or where to get them? I have V2, and V3 of the key.
Thank you, and my mother thanks you!

Thank you, @RobbieClarken and @wallcraft! I will try the method wallcraft linked me first, since it doesn't require Windows. Thanks again for taking the time to answer my question!

Just curious why you need current version of ineptpdf if v2 is working perfectly.

I'm having the same problem: It works on some books, but not all. This is the first time I've run into this. The ineptkeypdf says the book has been successfully decrypted; however, Calibre will not convert the file, says it's still DRM'd, though the book opens in ADE easily and even Adobe Reader 7.0. I obtained the scripts through a Dutch website mentioned on I Love Cabbages blog and another through uTorrent.

Any suggestions/work-arounds?
Thanks

silverraven · 11-08-2009, 04:12 PM

Terri,
I don't know if this will help you, but I had to push Decrypt 2 or 3 times on some of the books before they were 'decrypted' for me. Only on some of them, most worked great the first time.

I have purchased about 20 books in secure epub format and I am frustrated with the thought that at some point in the future I may not be able to read them if I change readers. I love calibre, but it only converts unsecured ebooks.
Does anyone know if any of the commercial software programs convert these types of books by removing the code? I have googled and there is plenty of software for itunes but I am not seeing any for epub.
I am a basic computer user and tried to follow the instructions to convert using Python, but I must admit working with the code and getting it to work was beyond me.
Any help is appreciated.
