Getting "Protected Page" Message when reading unprotected PDFs
I'm getting "protected page" messages when I try to read a lot of my PDFs (files that are not protected and that I can read on the iLiad). I even opened them up in Adobe and checked "properties" and sure enough, they are not accidentally listed as protected. Any suggestions? Thanks.

After a quick exchange of a few emails and testing the "protected"
pdf file in question, it appears that a corrupted memory card was the culprit and not the PDF file itself as I had no problems opening it. If you are using an old card, re-format always to ensure TOC integrity. |

I have the same problem ... downloaded a book I had bought from Fictionwise via Calibre and can't open it on my PRS700, although I can read it fine on my mac.
I swear that I've registered and authorized everything, but it still isn't working. Any suggestions? |

Yup. Worked like a charm.
I'm happy to say that my reformatting did indeed fix the problem.
I had a similar problem with the iLiad but in that case it was the Adobe PDF version that was the problem. I ran those files through PDF995 and that fixed it. Thanks for your help. Lauren |
