Running what? On what OS? On what files?

Running Mac OS X Terminal and using the command line:

python TopazFiles2HTML.pyw MYTOPAZBOOKNAME

The files in the lib directory are used by the script. Make sure to extract the lib directory with the other scripts.

From my understanding, you need to run
1. TopazExtract_Kindle_iPhone.pyw
2. then run TopazFiles2XML.pyw,
3. and then run either TopazFiles2SVG.pyw or TopazFiles2HTML.pyw
May be I'm wrong. I don't have a Kindle to check it out.

You can also try to run cmbdtc.py on your Topaz ebook
Code:
cmbtc_dump.py -d -o TARGETDIR [-p pid] YOURTOPAZBOOKNAMEHERE
and see whether you get any errors.

tools_v1.6b.zip.

The scripts should work with Kindle and iPhone Amazon Topaz Files (.tpz, .azw1). The files are really images of pages with OCR performed on them. Using the tools you can get SVG images of the pages, and the OCRed HTML version for clean-up.
I have downloaded these scripts. But can you please explain how to execute them properly and in which order? Cause I'm new to python. I have a topaz book on my iphone and want to convert it, but don't know how.

Any help appreciated.

Whenever I try the first step of running TopazExtract_Kindle_Iphone.pyw I get the following error message:

Are you trying to remove DRM from Topaz book? Or mobipocket book?

I'm trying to remove DRM from my Topaz azw1 files to eventually convert to epub

Re: How to convert Topaz ebooks to HTML (Remove DRM from TPZ and AZW1 books for Kindl


 
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me here. I'm trying to remove a DRM off a topaz file and I'm not getting anywhere. I'm using a Mac OS.
I've downloaded all the files listed, but I keep getting a 'Can not find dict0000.dat file' error.

Is there a way we can 'dumb' the directions down? I've removed them from azw and mobi using terminal and python scripts.

Thanks so much!!!

It really doesn't matter what I convert it to, I can just change it to epub using calibre

Not sure whether it will help

This can not be the true error since other pages worked.

Please make sure that all of these are in the some location (i.e. side by side inside of TARGETDIR

convert2xml.py
dict0000.dat
pageNNNN.dat

where NNNN is the number of the problem page*.dat file

Then make sure you have cd to the TARGETDIR and then run

convert2xml.py -d dict0000.dat pageNNNN.dat > debug.txt

where again the NNNN is the number of the page file that does not work.

Then look in debug.txt for “Unknown” or any other warning or error message and post at http://darkreverser.wordpress.com/2008/02/13/new-blog/ what it says around that point in the debug.txt file.

I'm getting this same error trying to remove DRM from a .tpz file. Any ideas? I'm running OSX 10.6.3.

If I try to run it without the PID, I get:
