security plugin required was not available

[SJMar]

Hi, I am using windows OS and calibre 3.8 with python 2.7.17 and pycrypto 2.6 I am trying to remove DRM from a book I downloaded from class publishing. I would like to use it as a normal pdf instead of within the clunky program that it comes with (KORTEXT). I am not sure if I have the required plugins.

Here is the error message I get calibre, version 3.8.0 (win32, embedded-python: True) Conversion error: Failed: Convert book 1 of 1 (UK Ambulance Services Clinical Practice Guidelines 2016)

Are you able to read it in Adobe Digital Editions 2.0.1 authorized with an Adobe ID?

[SJMar]

Hi there, Yes it opens straight away. Is it still possible to create a normal PDF from there? Regards Sonja

If I import an Adobe Digital Edition Key into the calibre DeDRM plugin will it remove the security do you think?

[ElleKayEm]

DeDRM should retrieve the key if ADE is located on the same machine and user as calibre. Post a log from adding the book: https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/blob/master/FAQs.md#i-cannot-solve-my-problem-with-the-dedrm-plugin-and-now-i-need-to-post-a-log-how-do-i-do-that

Hmm, doesn't seem to like that key. Are you sure ADE is the older version 2.0.1?

[SJMar]

Maybe not. I will double check when I get back to my computer and let you know.

I uninstalled ADE 4.5 and installed Version 2.0.1 Now it doesn't open the document :(

[ElleKayEm]

I was afraid of that. Sounds like they are using the newer version of Adobe DRM which can't be removed yet. See this section of the FAQs:
