Remove DRM from PDF ebooks (Adobe Digital Editions)

This is not correct. PyCrypto works fine on a Mac. Just download it, unpack. Then open the terminal and navigate to the PyCrypto directory. Then build PyCrypto and install it:

python setup.py build 
python setup.py install

If you only use epubs you can use the new ineptkey 5 which doesn't need pycrypto for the Mac. For (ADEPT) pdf decryption pycrypto isn't optional - even for the Mac.

Help!!! I am using Adobe Editions version 1.7.2.1131 and i just paid for a great PDF ebook but i try to remove the DRM to put it on my Kindle but it gives me an error (14) when i open the decrypted PDF, so hasn't worked.

I used these two with Python:

ineptkey.pyw version 5
ineptpdf.pyw, version 6.1

also tried same .de key with aineptpdf.pyw, version 6.3

But with no luck :-(

Thanks for reading!

Did you create the adeptkey.der key file again (click in the ineptkey.pyw)? Try ineptpdf 8.4.36 or higher.

Hi Joblack, no i didn't because i didn't change the version of adeptkey i assumed it would bey the say .der file.

Joblack,

I wasn't running PyCrypto so i downloaded this...

PyCrypto 2.1 for 32bit Windows and Python 2.7 (.zip)

And run it on Python 2.7 with Ineptkey 5 and:

Ineptpdf 8.4.34 also retried with 8.4.35 and 8.4.36

and still no luck. This is driving me crazy! lol

Some time ago I had a problem reading a PDF in Acrobat Reader. When I opened it up in another PDF-reader (FoxIt) it worked fine.

It seems that the new Acrobat Readers have a lower 'error tollerance'.

Are you sure this PyCrypto is for Python 2.7? I haven't seen a PyCrypto for Python 2.7 and one that is for Python 2.6 almost certainly will give problems. If you are not absolutely sure it is for 2.7 then use Python 2.6.

Hi, no i'm not sure - i'm in a mess with it all!

I got it from here...
