How to Remove Drm from PDF, Remove pdf ebooks drm.
I have recently bought 2 books from Fictionwise which are PDF with DRM.
Firstly, I seem only to be able to open them in ADE and then when I try to print I am told that I can only print 90 pages (was going to print to pdf).
Normally I wouldn't mind, but when opening on my Sony 505, the text is too small. When I make it bigger, it loses the nice formatting.
I have looked around but found no real answer as to how I may be able to remove the DRM. I have tried a demo of copistar, but this doesn't seem convert to text meaning I couldn't get it to a better format.
So, any advice on how I can get the file to a better format? Being that the 2 books I have bought run into around 600 pages each, I don't want to be doing a load of manual work so anything automated would be great.
Is there a format that I should be buying to make my own life easier? As previously mentioned, I have a sony 505.
I have also bought epub which looks great on my 505 although there are some things I wanted to change but can't due to DRM. I can live with that though.
With the PDF files, it is much harder for me to 'deal' with the problems.
Many thanks in advance.

The Adobe DRM has not been cracked, and you have already tried the only ways I am aware of for extracting the contents (printing, if allowed, and screenshots automated via copistar).
The DRM of three popular formats (MOBI, LIT, eReader) has been cracked, and Calibre will format shift DRM-free ebooks in any of these formats to ePub (or LRF). Of these, LIT is the closest to ePub and is what I would recommend if you have a Windows PC (MS Reader and Internet Explorer are required to buy LIT ebooks).

With respect, the DRM has not been "cracked" - that would imply the ability to remove DRM without knowing the encryption key, and that hasn't happened.
What has happened with these three formats is that, given a known encryption key (eg the PID for a Mobi file), the action of the legitimate reader for the formats has been "reverse engineered", allowing tools to be written which produce a DRM-free version of the file. The key point is, though, that in order for this to be done, the encryption key has to be known.
