Exactly how to remove DRM · apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools Wiki

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/02/16

The easiest way to get rid of DRM from PDF files is to use the Calibre plugin DeDRM with the instructions at [Wayback/Archive] Exactly how to remove DRM · apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools Wiki

The reason that I promote this tool is that the user experience of is that the user experience of Adobe Digital Editions is mediocre at best: keyboard navigation usually does not work, viewing 2 pages next to each other is impossible and almost none of the Acrobat Reader functionality is available.

[Wayback/Archive] How to view 2 pages, side-by-side in PDF within Ad… – Adobe Support Community – 10666132

Q

Why is it impossible to display two pages at once, side-by-side, when viewing a PDF in Adobe Digital Editions 4.5? Even after presumably 4.5 iterations, in the year 2019, how it is possible for such a simple feature, in a book reader no less, to be entirely absent? At least allowing the user the option to view a book or magazine in it’s original format seems like a no-brainer.

A

Adobe pays no attention to Special Editions because they don’t gain any revenue from it. It is outrageous that I have no choice in the matter if I want to borrow books from an online library

The easiest way to generate a DRM free PDF is to first provision it in Digital Editions, save it to disk from there, then open the saved DRM PDF.

The above Wiki plus the links below should get you started.

This is a 2021 fork of the below repository which still has the documentation wiki mentioned above
