Calibre adobe digital editions11/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Drag the converted and DeDRM'd file into Apple Books and open it to check, it appears fine at first glance.Click the link to the resulting converted file in Calibre.Choose EPUB for the format (top right) and hit 'okay' (bottom right).Nothing in the Calibre interface or help docs explains how to go forward from here, so select my book and click "convert Books" in Calibre.Read the DeDRM guide, which mentioned also installing Obok, but Obok files are in a parent repo and have no zip file, so it's hard to see what to download.Delete and re-import my book into Calibre 5.8.1 from the Adobe "Digital Editions" folder on my computer.Install the DeDRM plugin by choosing the downloaded zip file "DeDRM_plugin_7.0.3.zip" (or the latest release) which contains everything - the plugin now appears in the Calibre list of plugins on restart.OS X 10.14.6.Īim: remove DRM from a 2020 published book, downloaded and opened in (the awful and almost unreadable) Adobe Digital editions 4.5.11. As this is the first I've used this software, am I bound to only one system? I was under the impression I should be able to use it on my desktop as well, where my screens are at least big enough to read this crappy PDF, whereas on my laptop I'm squinting like im half blind.Let's just say this has been a frustrating start to what should be a straight forward course! Sounds like the main issue is the 'rented' aspect of the material.First attempt ever at removing DRM. I found that most tutorials on conversion have to do with using an Adobe ID, whereas in this case, I had to use the 'campus eBookstore' option in order to download it, and now when I try to do so on my main desktop (right now it's only on my laptop) I downloaded v2 of ADE, but in trying to access the file, it blatantly won't let me, I get an error every time. ![]() In this case, it looks like the book is considered a 'rental' as it gives me a 180 day date, which was not mentioned at the time of purchase. If I can add any additional info, by all means, just let me know what you need, and thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to save me from this horrid software! One thing I've noticed in most tutorials regarding this, is that they specify to use an Adobe ID: however, to access the PDF needed, I have to choose the " Campus eBookstore " option, so I'm not sure if that's where my problem is?ĪNY help that anyone could possibly offer would be extremely appreciated, as the thought of going through this entire course using this Adobe garbage is going to be absolute hell. Is it not possible to access the DRM file from multiple machines, or is it a matter of once you've authorized it on one unit, you're stuck using it on that unit only? No matter what I try, i get an error from each software utility that I've tried thus far, am I screwed at this point, or is there something obvious that I'm totally missing here? If I had known ADE was going to be this bad, I would have saved myself the nightmare and just bought the hard-copy. I have installed Alf in Calibre (I'm pretty sure I did it properly?), but no matter what I try, I get an error every time, just like in the other third party software that is supposed to be specifically for removing the DRM. I believe I made the mistake of using the most recent version of ADE, not realizing that could cause problems trying to export the PDF to a non-DRM version. I've read through various posts already on reddit, and have tried a few programs already before Calibre to hopefully save myself from using what is possibly the worst piece of software ever created. I've used Calibre for years to convert to various file types no problem, but never dealt with DRM content. I don't know if it's too late, as I'm new to this DRM 'borrowing' or 'time limited' access to the material. I needed a textbook for a class I'm currently taking, so I purchased the digital edition, not realizing using ADE was worse than having your balls set on fire. I may have already screwed this up, but forgive my ignorance as I had no idea was an absolute POS ADE is. ![]()
