How to remove DRM from NookStudy PDF

[sabayn]

I am going through the same issue. I need to have the PDF for NookStudy to be able to get it on my Nook. I tried several things including doing the epub removal which didn't work really needless to say. I bought the nook because I was lead to believe that I could read it on it. One would assume. Also that link that takes you to the mediafire thing isn't working right now.

The link is working now. It will rip out any of the encryption for NookStudy PDFs.

I'd like to thank Deamos for their help. You really helped me out. I had a problem getting it to work at first, but it turns out that activating Adobe Digital Editions does make a difference in the outcome. I also had Nook and Nook Study running and logged in, although I don't know if that was necessary.

Keep in mind, this skitters the border of illegal as it gets around the rental agreements.

First thing, download the B&N reader program and Nookstudy.

Run the key retrieval .py and then run the other .py and use the key you got from the first script. Run it on your PDF and done.

Can you explain this a little more clearly?

I downloaded the mediafire file.
I have Nookstudy
I found the drm protected pdf
I installed python 2.7
I installed pycrypt
Now what?

You need to download the mediafire link.
Have installed and be viewing either the rental or the "purchase" Find the pdf. For the sake of simplicity make a folder on your drive close to your root. Install python 2.7. Download and install PYCRYPTO. the O is important. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrypto/files/
Move the mediafire stuff in the folder with the pdf.

Now open the file within NOOK App. Run BNKeyretreival you can simply double click it if you have followed the above directions. Now you should see the "adeptkey.der" in the directory with your pdf and BNKeyretrieval. Now run "ineptpdf2" again you should be able to just click on it.

Now if you did it right the key will be autofilled, if not, fill it in. If you dont have the key you have skipped a step. Next select your file. Then select your output. For gods sakes do not make them the same. Wait a bit, be patient. You will have an un-DRM version of whatever. It is up to you to use this only on books you own. You have been warned.

Could somebody post step-by-step instructions on how to do this for non-computer savy people? I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do. I installed those two programs but they don't seem to exist anywhere other than add/remove programs. I couldn't get anything to run so I uninstalled and deleted everything as I was worried about what I had downloaded. Someone said something about being sure everything is in the same root but I don't know what that means? Should I copy and paste the pdf file from My Barnes & Noble Ebooks into another folder on my desktop then install everything else there? I have Adobe Digital Edition installed and authorized and can open my textbook in that program, but I don't see the pdf of the textbook in My Digital Editions, only in My Barnes & Noble. Some extremely detailed, step-by-step instructions would be GREATLY appreciated as I have a week to get a book I purchased through Nookstudy on my Nook Color! I don't want to be tied to my computer in order to read my book that I paid for, this is why I got a Nook Color! HELP!

Okay, disregard my previous post, I DID IT! Woo hoo! I now have a DRM-free pdf of my book! Sweet! (can you tell, I'm a little excited).

Now I have a new question. Am I going to have to do all these downloads every time or if I save these files, will they work on all my books? Thank you to whoever figured out how to do this! Of course, now that I have decrypted my book I bet NookStudy will get opened up to the Nook ereader devices. Oh, well! At least I have my book for the beginning of classes. Thank you!

Not sure I understood your question correctly. If you save DRM-free files, you should be able to open them on many devices.

p.s. I like that Nook Color has a color touch screen, but since it is an LCD screen, not an eInk screen, I prefer to use Kindle.

Am I going to have to download the mediafire files, Python, and Pycrypto every time I want to remove DRM from a downloaded NOOKstudy book?

Also, I am REALLY hoping for better PDF file management with the next update. I hope that they add highlighting, searching, and bookmarking! Anyway, I am glad I found this site, I've learned a lot.

You can leave them on your computer. Sometimes you may need to download the updates of the scripts; But if the old ones work for you, you don't have to do that.
