17. ÛÛÛÛÛ Do More Tribe is proud to announce the release of a new ÛÛÛÛÛ
18. ÛÛÛÛÛ DRM-removal technique. VitalSource BookShelf sells DRM'd Ebooks ÛÛÛÛÛ
19. ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
20. ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
21. ÛÛÛÛÛ If you pay for an ebook, it is yours to view on any device you ÛÛÛÛÛ
22. ÛÛÛÛÛ own. Do not let anyone ever tell you otherwise. It's very ÛÛÛÛÛ
23. ÛÛÛÛÛ surprising that nobody on the interwebs seems to have figured out ÛÛÛÛÛ
24. ÛÛÛÛÛ how to bypass the restriction. It's quite a fun little trick. ÛÛÛÛÛ
25. ÛÛÛÛÛ The VitalSource Bookshelf software allows you to print your ÛÛÛÛÛ
26. ÛÛÛÛÛ Ebook, but only 5 pages at a time. On the surface this would ÛÛÛÛÛ
27. ÛÛÛÛÛ seem to foil the print-to-PDF method, however using some ÛÛÛÛÛ
28. ÛÛÛÛÛ AppleScript magic we can have their own software do all the work ÛÛÛÛÛ
29. ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
30. ÛÛÛÛÛ You will need a computer running MacOS in order to do this, ÛÛÛÛÛ
31. ÛÛÛÛÛ however the resulting PDF will work on any computer. There are ÛÛÛÛÛ
32. ÛÛÛÛÛ VMWare images of MacOS available online if you don't have a Mac. ÛÛÛÛÛ
33. ÛÛÛÛÛ The AppleScript code below will dump the entire ebook out into ÛÛÛÛÛ
34. ÛÛÛÛÛ a bunch of pdfs, each containing 5 pages each. We can then ÛÛÛÛÛ
35. ÛÛÛÛÛ easily merge them together to create one DRM-free PDF containing ÛÛÛÛÛ
36. ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
37. ÛÛÛÛÛ 1. Open your ebook up in the VitalSource app. ÛÛÛÛÛ
38. ÛÛÛÛÛ 2. Load up AppleScript and paste in the following code: ÛÛÛÛÛ
39. set totalPages to 340
40. set authorName to 'DMT'
41. tell application 'VitalSource Bookshelf'
42. repeat with theIncrementValue from startPage to totalPages - 1 by 5
43. set thisValue to 'a'
44. set thisValue to theIncrementValue
45. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke 'p' using command down
46. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke thisValue as string
47. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke tab
48. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke theIncrementValue + 5 as string
49. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke tab
50. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke return
51. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke return
52. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke 'p' using command down
53. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke theIncrementValue as string
54. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke tab
55. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke tab

57. tell application 'System Events' to keystroke return
58. end repeat
59. # Saves current document open in VitalSource Bookshelf as PDF
60. set totalPages to 497
61. tell application 'System Events'
62. repeat with theIncrementValue from startPage to totalPages - 1 by 10
63. # Wait until the first Print dialog opens before proceeding
64. # Open the print dialog
65. end repeat
66. # First print dialoge. Print pages ten at a time.
67. keystroke tab
68. keystroke tab
69. click button 'Continue' of window 'Print'
70. # Wait until the second Print dialog opens before proceeding
71. end repeat
72. # Expand the 'PDF' menu button (must be expanded before the menu is referencable)

82. end repeat
83. end tell
84. ÛÛÛÛÛ Compliments of MTB. If the book starts at page 'i' or some ÛÛÛÛÛ
85. ÛÛÛÛÛ rubbish and goes on to 'ii', 'iii', ... 'xx', ... '1', '2' ... ÛÛÛÛÛ
86. ÛÛÛÛÛ print the 'i-x' pages manually. Then follow the instructions ÛÛÛÛÛ
87. ÛÛÛÛÛ by DMT. Start from 1 to the last page of the book. You may need ÛÛÛÛÛ
88. ÛÛÛÛÛ to print the last ten pages manually as well. ÛÛÛÛÛ
89. ÛÛÛÛÛ Did you notice how we even took away the sides of our sexy ASCII ÛÛÛÛÛ
90. ÛÛÛÛÛ art just so you would have hassle-free copy+paste? That is how ÛÛÛÛÛ
91. ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
92. ÛÛÛÛÛ I'm not even joking. We really do love you. ÛÛÛÛÛ
93. ÛÛÛÛÛ 3. Change the totalPages to the number of pages, and authorName ÛÛÛÛÛ
94. ÛÛÛÛÛ to whatever you want that field set to in the pdf. ÛÛÛÛÛ
95. ÛÛÛÛÛ 4. The delay of 7 seconds is quite conservative, this should do ÛÛÛÛÛ
96. ÛÛÛÛÛ nicely for most people. If your computer is really fast then ÛÛÛÛÛ
97. ÛÛÛÛÛ you can probably lower it a bit, but if the saving of any one ÛÛÛÛÛ
98. ÛÛÛÛÛ pdf takes more than the delay then the script will break and ÛÛÛÛÛ
99. ÛÛÛÛÛ you'll have to manually stop it. If this happens just set the ÛÛÛÛÛ
100. ÛÛÛÛÛ startPage to the Next page you don't have. Pages are saved ÛÛÛÛÛ
101. ÛÛÛÛÛ starting from 0 (page 0 is called 'a' in the app, fuck knows why) ÛÛÛÛÛ
102. ÛÛÛÛÛ and up in increments of 5, so you'll end up with 0.pdf, 5.pdf, ÛÛÛÛÛ
103. ÛÛÛÛÛ 10.pdf, etc etc. So if it breaks and you have to re-start it, ÛÛÛÛÛ
104. ÛÛÛÛÛ the number you start it from will always be either 0 or a ÛÛÛÛÛ
105. ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
106. ÛÛÛÛÛ 5. So now you have your pdfs, time to join them together. If ÛÛÛÛÛ
107. ÛÛÛÛÛ you want to do this on MacOS, install the textlive-context ÛÛÛÛÛ
108. ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
109. ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
110. ÛÛÛÛÛ If you want to merge them on a ubuntu or debian linux box, then ÛÛÛÛÛ
111. ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
112. ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
113. ÛÛÛÛÛ Make sure all the pdfs are in one directory, then cd into that ÛÛÛÛÛ
114. ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
115. ÛÛÛÛÛ # texexec --pdfarrange --result all.pdf `ls -1 *.pdf |sort -n` ÛÛÛÛÛ
116. ÛÛÛÛÛ You now have your fully DRM-free PDF :) ÛÛÛÛÛ
117. ÛÛÛÛÛ -DMT 2010, be love ÛÛÛÛÛ
