Apocalypse Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I bought an ebook that I recieved in SPDF format. It works exactly like regular PDF files, but asks for a username and password before opening. Thats fine since I bought it and have those things. The enoying thing is that it doesn't allow ctrl-c, ctrl-v and it has some clever trick around print-screen. The book was delivered in 25 files, each pertaining to a chapter and I would to copy them all to Microsoft Word. Any ideas on how to copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mast3rpyr0 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Not sure what a SPDF file does to adobe reader but click File > Save as Text and i guess if itl work change the extension to WPD or whatever word extension is. Not sure how images will work with this though My UDF's : _INetUpdateCheck() My Programs : GameLauncher vAlpha, InfoCrypt, WindowDesigner, ScreenCap, DailyRemindersPick3GeneratorBackupUtility!

Hirax Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Well I would have no idea on how to put into a Microsoft Word file but.. I know how to put it BACK into a .PDF file, now normally you would have to subscribe to adobe but with this program it lets you create .PDF's for free!

But when I tried it, an error message popped up saying print-to-files weren't allowed.Great idea, but they took it into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonkiller Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Try opening that file, then press Print Screen, paste into Paint, save to .bmp or something else and let ABBYY do the rest (it's an OCR program that reads all text from pictures). ABBYY is an amazing program, I scanned some book pages into my computer and it read everything perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used 3rd party PDF before and was able to copy/print and save a DRM enabled PDF that would normally be disallowed, have you tried foxit reader, you open a non-drm pdf, and then open the drm one and you can copy, select text. I think it was 1.3 that has this 'nice' gliche, probably fixed in newer versions though. Don't bother, It's inside your monitor!------GUISetOnEvent should behave more like HotKeySet() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zfisherdrums Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 You might have luck using the XPDF toolset to extract the text from the PDF file itself into a flat text file or HTML file. You can find it here:http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.htmlThese CLI tools contain parameters that allow you to enter username and password as well. Check out 'pdftotext' specifically.
