I'd appreciate a PM if anyone knows the whereabouts of the script

However, my decrypted file starts with "%PDF-1.4" and ends with "%%EOF", it still cannot be opened properly.

Are the changes to the new version of the script extensive? Could just the changes be posted so they can be applied to the older version?

Check out the new tags in PDF 1.5 - these are the possible changes in the parser.

I may have misunderstood... I thought there was an update to the script. I guess I can try and look at the new tags at some point if I get a chance...

ReAdder · 04-19-2009, 03:35 AM

Isn't 1.5 was introduced in 2003?
I mean isn't it fairly old, with 1.7AEL3 around?

Anyways my target files are all 1.5 (from NetLibrary)
And I'm dying to get a new version, as I also get 'Error -5 while decompressing data'

BTW, FYI I had to download DE 1.0, as 1.7 freshly from adobe (4/17/09) refused to accept ebx.etd files.

I purchased a book, in pdf that is very large. I ran the script, it completes and it tells me that it is sucessfully decrypted. I add it to calibre and attempt to convert it, and calibre tells me it is DRM protected. Is this a problem anyone else has had? Help!

The script doesn't remove the additional custom properties named EBX_* - perhaps your program doesn`t like these ... remove them manually and check again.

Sorry I feel like an idiot, but how do I do this?

Under Adobe 9 it's under the Document Properties (Ctrl-D - depends on your Acrobat version). Under Adobe 6 its under Metadata and under Document Properties (in the File menu).

I don't know if that is the problem with your viewer. Delete them and if the problem still occurs it's another problem, perhaps another bug in the pdf parsing.

You can also check out the security settings under Document Properties. If there is still some thing 'not allowed' the script hasn't removed them all.

But as the script is completely parsing and recreating the pdf it can also some protected flag left (that means the pdf isn't protected it only signals the viewer it is).

If you don't find the solution you can send me the PDF (pm for E-Mail address) and I check about the protection mystery.

I am really eager to download the updated scripts, and I guess many people on this board feel just the same. Maybe we could set up a donation program so as to motivate i♥cabbages to upload them... It would also allow him to spend more time coding. So, what do you think about this idea ?
