I bought 11 books from harlequin ebooks, and would like to remove the DRM so I can send them to my laptop and work pc without mucking around with the signing in and activating each device etc, but after following the instructions to the T, I keep getting the error message
ERROR: error decrypting the book session key

Yet the files play fine on adobe digital edition.
Can anyone help out pls?, they are PDF files.

I need ineptpdf 8.4.44 or 8.4.45. Google can't help me... Anyone have this script?

I am new to the forum and hope I am putting this in the right place.

I am trying to remove the DRM from two PDF's but I am getting error messages (I have removed others and they are fine).

The error message for book 1 is:
Error: Dict required: 2698

The error message for book 2 is:
Error: Dict required: <PDFStream(None): raw= 11099, {'Filter':/FlateDecode 'Length': 11099, 'N': 200, 'Type': /ObjStm, 'First': 1940}>

Does anyone know what these mean and what I can do to unlock the books?

Thanks.

I am also new to the forum and looking for help.

I'm trying to remove the DRM from a PDF, but when I use ineptpdf I receive Error: error decrypting book session key.

From what I read on different sites, the error is caused by my version of ineptkey creating an adeptkey.der that is ineffective on my PDF.
Is this true?

If so, I have tried both versions 4.3 and 5 of ineptkey, but received the same error with both of them. Would anybody be able to help me?

What version of ineptpdf do you use?

Can you open your PDF with Adobe Digital Editions (ADE)? What version of ADE do you have?

You may have used an old key with a new file. You can try to re-download your PDF or re-authorize your ADE + the PDF with your Adobe ID.

Also if you use the latest version of ADE, try to downgrade it:

1. Uninstall ADE
2. Open your registry editor (Start -> Execute -> type regedit and press enter). Backup your registry. Then delete
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept]
3. Install ADE like v1.7.2.1131

every time i run the ineptkeyv3 script i get the following error:


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\***\Desktop\NEW DRM Removal Package\adobe adept for pdf\ineptkey_v3.pyw", line 198, in main

cpuid0__(buffer)

WindowsError: exception: access violation writing 0x01DF9388


I am running Windows X64 based Os
this is all jibberish to me can anybody help??

Try to use ineptkey.pyw v5 instead.

I'm using v1.7.2.1121.27 of ADE.
I'm using version 2 of ineptpdf, since I couldn't find a newer version.

I can't open the PDF. It gives me a registered to another user error, as my brother originally downloaded it under his adobe account on another computer, and than gave it to me before going back to college, not knowing it was DRM protected.

I tried to re-download/reinitialize the PDF again but it didn't help.
