irefay Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I purchased some ebooks I thought they were actual .pdf 's but come to find out they are actually read by adobe digital editions. No problem, all I have to do is print screen, open Adobe Acrobat>create new PDF from clip board> and I have a single page. Then I save it as a pdf, and go on to the next page. After I am done, I combine the individual pages into a single PDF and create a batch process using Acrobat to crop to the proper dimensions and run it through ORC. Except that is a lot of work! Any suggestions on how to do this easier? I already did few quick searches for getting around the Adobe Digital Editions DRM... but I haven't found anything.Geez, you buy books on digits so your kids dont find them and BAM you end up wasting a weekend pushing print screen a few thousand times!

irefay Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Format is PDF but it uses Adobe Digital Edition...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Digital_EditionsBasically, I connect to Adobe's Encrypted server, they send me a flash feed of the PDF. Its Adobe's DRM scheme.No problem, all I have to do is print screen, open Adobe Acrobat>create new PDF from clip board> and I have a single page. Then I save it as a pdf, and go on to the next page. After I am done, I combine the individual pages into a single PDF and create a batch process using Acrobat to crop to the proper dimensions and run it through ORC.Yep pretty evident that I already have Adobe Acrobat.Well, I got all three books done, It only took about 40min per 200 pages. I OCR'd them and optimized them.
