PRS-600 spdf?

usfbull · 09-10-2009, 02:18 PM

Hey everyone, I just bought a Sony Touch PRS600 (my first eReader) and am trying to load my college textbooks to it, but my reader can't seem to recognize the file. It is formatted as an spdf (sealed pdf). i don't know if it has something to do with me having to drag and drop the files into the reader instead of syncing (ebook library crashes as soon as I open it). Any help would be appreciated.

Reader supports only unencrypted PDFs and those with ADEPT DRM. It does not support SealedMedia or any other DRM.

You can remove the encryption from the spdf doing this:

Download SplViewer (www.lvbprint.de/html/splviewer.html) and install cutepdf or pdf995 or primopdf (whatever) in your pc, google it.

Disconnect your printer cable, open the .spdf file and print it in the printer you just disconnected. An error message is displayed because your printer is not connected, however the ".spl" file can be found at c:\windows\system32\spool\printers.

Open the .spl with the SplViewer and print it using pdf995 or cutepdf or whatever pdf virtual printer you want.
Done !!

What is the result of this?
Do you simply get printed physical pages of the pdf?
Do you get captured images of the encrpyted pdf that you can then convert to a book?
Do you get the actual original pdf file decrypted?
