ÛÛÛÛÛ   Do More Tribe is proud to announce the release of a new            ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   DRM-removal technique.  VitalSource BookShelf sells DRM'd Ebooks   ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   in a proprietary format.                                           ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   We find this unacceptable.                                         ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   If you pay for an ebook, it is yours to view on any device you     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   own.  Do not let anyone ever tell you otherwise.  It's very        ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   surprising that nobody on the interwebs seems to have figured out  ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   how to bypass the restriction.  It's quite a fun little trick.     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   The VitalSource Bookshelf software allows you to print your        ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   Ebook, but only 5 pages at a time.  On the surface this would      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   seem to foil the print-to-PDF method, however using some           ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   AppleScript magic we can have their own software do all the work   ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   for us ;)                                                          ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   You will need a computer running MacOS in order to do this,        ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   however the resulting PDF will work on any computer.  There are    ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   VMWare images of MacOS available online if you don't have a Mac.   ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   The AppleScript code below will dump the entire ebook out into     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   a bunch of pdfs, each containing 5 pages each.  We can then        ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   easily merge them together to create one DRM-free PDF containing   ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   all the pages.                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   1. Open your ebook up in the VitalSource app.                      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   2. Load up AppleScript and paste in the following code:            ÛÛÛÛÛ

set totalPages to 340
set startPage to 0
set authorName to "DMT"

tell application "VitalSource Bookshelf"
	activate
	repeat with theIncrementValue from startPage to totalPages - 1 by 5
		if (theIncrementValue = 0) then
			set thisValue to "a"
		else
			set thisValue to theIncrementValue
		end if
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke "p" using command down
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke thisValue as string
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke theIncrementValue + 5 as string
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke "p" using command down
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke theIncrementValue as string
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke authorName
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
		delay 7
	end repeat
end tell

ÛÛÛÛÛ   Or if the above doesn't work.                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ

# Saves current document open in VitalSource Bookshelf as PDF

set totalPages to 497
set startPage to 1

activate application "VitalSource Bookshelf"
tell application "System Events"
	tell process "VitalSource Bookshelf"
		repeat with theIncrementValue from startPage to totalPages - 1 by 10
			set thisValue to theIncrementValue
			
			# Wait until the first Print dialog opens before proceeding
			repeat until exists window "Print"
				# Open the print dialog
				keystroke "p" using command down
			end repeat
			
			# First print dialoge. Print pages ten at a time.
			keystroke thisValue as string
			keystroke tab
			keystroke thisValue + 9 as string
			keystroke tab
			# delay 2
			click button "Continue" of window "Print"
			
			# Wait until the second Print dialog opens before proceeding
			repeat until exists window "Print"
			end repeat
			
			# Expand the "PDF" menu button (must be expanded before the menu is referencable)
			click menu button "PDF" of window "Print"

			# Wait until the Save dialog opens before proceeding
			repeat until exists window "Save"
			end repeat
			
			# Save. Set name to page numbers saved.
			keystroke thisValue as string
			keystroke "_"
			keystroke thisValue + 9 as string
			click button "Save" of window "Save"
			
			# Wait for dialog to close before proceeding.
			repeat until not (exists window "Save")
			end repeat
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell

ÛÛÛÛÛ   Compliments of MTB. If the book starts at page "i" or some        ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   rubbish and goes on to "ii", "iii", ... "xx", ... "1", "2" ...    ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   print the "i-x" pages manually. Then follow the instructions      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   by DMT. Start from 1 to the last page of the book. You may need   ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   to print the last ten pages manually as well.                     ÛÛÛÛÛ

								
ÛÛÛÛÛ   Did you notice how we even took away the sides of our sexy ASCII  ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   art just so you would have hassle-free copy+paste?  That is how   ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   much DMT loves you <3                                             ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   I'm not even joking.  We really do love you.                      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   3. Change the totalPages to the number of pages, and authorName   ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   to whatever you want that field set to in the pdf.                ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   4. The delay of 7 seconds is quite conservative, this should do   ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   nicely for most people.  If your computer is really fast then     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   you can probably lower it a bit, but if the saving of any one     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   pdf takes more than the delay then the script will break and      ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   you'll have to manually stop it.  If this happens just set the    ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   startPage to the Next page you don't have.  Pages are saved       ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   starting from 0 (page 0 is called "a" in the app, fuck knows why) ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   and up in increments of 5, so you'll end up with 0.pdf, 5.pdf,    ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   10.pdf, etc etc.  So if it breaks and you have to re-start it,    ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   the number you start it from will always be either 0 or a         ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   multiple of 5.                                                    ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   5. So now you have your pdfs, time to join them together.  If     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   you want to do this on MacOS, install the textlive-context        ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   port with:                                                        ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   # port install texlive-context                                    ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   If you want to merge them on a ubuntu or debian linux box, then   ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   you want to do:                                                   ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   # apt-get install context                                         ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   Make sure all the pdfs are in one directory, then cd into that    ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   directory and type:                                               ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   # texexec --pdfarrange --result all.pdf `ls -1 *.pdf |sort -n`    ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ   You now have your fully DRM-free PDF :)                           ÛÛÛÛÛ
ÛÛÛÛÛ                                                                     ÛÛÛÛÛ

52		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
53		ÛÛÛÛÛ The VitalSource Bookshelf software allows you to print your ÛÛÛÛÛ
54		ÛÛÛÛÛ Ebook, but only 5 pages at a time. On the surface this would ÛÛÛÛÛ
55		ÛÛÛÛÛ seem to foil the print-to-PDF method, however using some ÛÛÛÛÛ
56		ÛÛÛÛÛ AppleScript magic we can have their own software do all the work ÛÛÛÛÛ
57		ÛÛÛÛÛ for us ;) ÛÛÛÛÛ
58		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
59		ÛÛÛÛÛ You will need a computer running MacOS in order to do this, ÛÛÛÛÛ
60		ÛÛÛÛÛ however the resulting PDF will work on any computer. There are ÛÛÛÛÛ
61		ÛÛÛÛÛ VMWare images of MacOS available online if you don't have a Mac. ÛÛÛÛÛ
62		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
63		ÛÛÛÛÛ The AppleScript code below will dump the entire ebook out into ÛÛÛÛÛ
64		ÛÛÛÛÛ a bunch of pdfs, each containing 5 pages each. We can then ÛÛÛÛÛ
65		ÛÛÛÛÛ easily merge them together to create one DRM-free PDF containing ÛÛÛÛÛ
66		ÛÛÛÛÛ all the pages. ÛÛÛÛÛ
67		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
68		ÛÛÛÛÛ 1. Open your ebook up in the VitalSource app. ÛÛÛÛÛ
69		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
70		ÛÛÛÛÛ 2. Load up AppleScript and paste in the following code: ÛÛÛÛÛ
71
72		set totalPages to 340
73		set startPage to 0
74		set authorName to "DMT"
75
76		tell application "VitalSource Bookshelf"
77		activate
78		repeat with theIncrementValue from startPage to totalPages - 1 by 5
79		if (theIncrementValue = 0) then
80		set thisValue to "a"
81		else
82		set thisValue to theIncrementValue
83		end if
84		tell application "System Events" to keystroke "p" using command down
85		tell application "System Events" to keystroke thisValue as string
86		tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab
87		tell application "System Events" to keystroke theIncrementValue + 5 as string
88		tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab
89		tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
90		tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
91		tell application "System Events" to keystroke "p" using command down
92		tell application "System Events" to keystroke theIncrementValue as string
93		tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab
94		tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab
95		tell application "System Events" to keystroke authorName
96		tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
97		delay 7
98		end repeat
99		end tell
100
101		ÛÛÛÛÛ Or if the above doesn't work. ÛÛÛÛÛ
102
103		# Saves current document open in VitalSource Bookshelf as PDF
104
105		set totalPages to 497
106		set startPage to 1
107
108		activate application "VitalSource Bookshelf"
109		tell application "System Events"
110		tell process "VitalSource Bookshelf"
111		repeat with theIncrementValue from startPage to totalPages - 1 by 10
112		set thisValue to theIncrementValue
113
114		# Wait until the first Print dialog opens before proceeding
115		repeat until exists window "Print"
116		# Open the print dialog
117		keystroke "p" using command down
118		end repeat
119
120		# First print dialoge. Print pages ten at a time.
121		keystroke thisValue as string
122		keystroke tab
123		keystroke thisValue + 9 as string
124		keystroke tab
125		# delay 2
126		click button "Continue" of window "Print"
127
128		# Wait until the second Print dialog opens before proceeding
129		repeat until exists window "Print"
130		end repeat
131
132		# Expand the "PDF" menu button (must be expanded before the menu is referencable)
133		click menu button "PDF" of window "Print"
134
135		# Wait until the Menu button menu is created before proceeding
136		repeat until exists menu item "Save as PDF…" of menu 1 of menu button "PDF" of window "Print"
137		end repeat
138
139		# Select the "Save as PDF" menu item
140		click menu item "Save as PDF…" of menu 1 of menu button "PDF" of window "Print"
141
142		# Wait until the Save dialog opens before proceeding
143		repeat until exists window "Save"
144		end repeat
145
146		# Save. Set name to page numbers saved.
147		keystroke thisValue as string
148		keystroke "_"
149		keystroke thisValue + 9 as string
150		click button "Save" of window "Save"
151
152		# Wait for dialog to close before proceeding.
153		repeat until not (exists window "Save")
154		end repeat
155		end repeat
156		end tell

159		ÛÛÛÛÛ Compliments of MTB. If the book starts at page "i" or some ÛÛÛÛÛ
160		ÛÛÛÛÛ rubbish and goes on to "ii", "iii", ... "xx", ... "1", "2" ... ÛÛÛÛÛ
161		ÛÛÛÛÛ print the "i-x" pages manually. Then follow the instructions ÛÛÛÛÛ
162		ÛÛÛÛÛ by DMT. Start from 1 to the last page of the book. You may need ÛÛÛÛÛ
163		ÛÛÛÛÛ to print the last ten pages manually as well. ÛÛÛÛÛ
164
165
166		ÛÛÛÛÛ Did you notice how we even took away the sides of our sexy ASCII ÛÛÛÛÛ
167		ÛÛÛÛÛ art just so you would have hassle-free copy+paste? That is how ÛÛÛÛÛ
168		ÛÛÛÛÛ much DMT loves you <3 ÛÛÛÛÛ
169		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
170		ÛÛÛÛÛ I'm not even joking. We really do love you. ÛÛÛÛÛ
171		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
172		ÛÛÛÛÛ 3. Change the totalPages to the number of pages, and authorName ÛÛÛÛÛ
173		ÛÛÛÛÛ to whatever you want that field set to in the pdf. ÛÛÛÛÛ
174		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
175		ÛÛÛÛÛ 4. The delay of 7 seconds is quite conservative, this should do ÛÛÛÛÛ
176		ÛÛÛÛÛ nicely for most people. If your computer is really fast then ÛÛÛÛÛ
177		ÛÛÛÛÛ you can probably lower it a bit, but if the saving of any one ÛÛÛÛÛ
178		ÛÛÛÛÛ pdf takes more than the delay then the script will break and ÛÛÛÛÛ
179		ÛÛÛÛÛ you'll have to manually stop it. If this happens just set the ÛÛÛÛÛ
180		ÛÛÛÛÛ startPage to the Next page you don't have. Pages are saved ÛÛÛÛÛ
181		ÛÛÛÛÛ starting from 0 (page 0 is called "a" in the app, fuck knows why) ÛÛÛÛÛ
182		ÛÛÛÛÛ and up in increments of 5, so you'll end up with 0.pdf, 5.pdf, ÛÛÛÛÛ
183		ÛÛÛÛÛ 10.pdf, etc etc. So if it breaks and you have to re-start it, ÛÛÛÛÛ
184		ÛÛÛÛÛ the number you start it from will always be either 0 or a ÛÛÛÛÛ
185		ÛÛÛÛÛ multiple of 5. ÛÛÛÛÛ
186		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
187		ÛÛÛÛÛ 5. So now you have your pdfs, time to join them together. If ÛÛÛÛÛ
188		ÛÛÛÛÛ you want to do this on MacOS, install the textlive-context ÛÛÛÛÛ
189		ÛÛÛÛÛ port with: ÛÛÛÛÛ
190		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
191		ÛÛÛÛÛ # port install texlive-context ÛÛÛÛÛ
192		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
193		ÛÛÛÛÛ If you want to merge them on a ubuntu or debian linux box, then ÛÛÛÛÛ
194		ÛÛÛÛÛ you want to do: ÛÛÛÛÛ
195		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
196		ÛÛÛÛÛ # apt-get install context ÛÛÛÛÛ
197		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
198		ÛÛÛÛÛ Make sure all the pdfs are in one directory, then cd into that ÛÛÛÛÛ
199		ÛÛÛÛÛ directory and type: ÛÛÛÛÛ
200		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
201		ÛÛÛÛÛ # texexec --pdfarrange --result all.pdf `ls -1 *.pdf \|sort -n` ÛÛÛÛÛ
202		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
203		ÛÛÛÛÛ You now have your fully DRM-free PDF :) ÛÛÛÛÛ
204		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
205		ÛÛÛÛÛ -DMT 2010, be love ÛÛÛÛÛ
206		ÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛÛÛÛ
