Remove DRM from PDF ebooks (Adobe Digital Editions)

[REbook]

Posting to help anyone out there:

1. First I downloaded/installed python/pycrypto.
   
2. Then I got ineptkey.pyw, ineptepub.pyw(for epub files) ineptpdf.pyw v2 (for pdf files) put all them into my digital editions directory.
   
3. Ran ineptkey.pyw. It found the key and saved as "ADEPTKEY.DER " in the same directory where ineptkey.pyw is.
   
4. Then, I ran ineptpdf.pyw (v2 worked fine). In the dialog window I put the path to the input file(the file was in the my digital edition folder) and named a file name for the outfile file.
   
5. Voila DRM Free!

Could anyone, please also provide me with ineptpdf version 4? I tried finding it online but couldn't.

The older Adobe Digital Version is not reading my downloaded books! When I try opening them on it, it stays blank.

Why don't you use a newer version instead?

With ineptpdf.pyw alone it doesn't work, you need a ".der" file, how do you get that file?

ineptkey.pyw (Key-retrieval script) can create a ADEPTKEY.DER:

With "ineptkey.pyw" I'm able to create the "adeptkey.der" file. But when I run "ineptpdf.pyw" the "adeptkey.der" file is automatically selected, after that I browse my PDF and I choose the Output file and when I push the Decrypt button it says: "Error: String required: None". What is the problem?
