Need a protection/DRM removed from a PDF

[asche]

Hello all,

I'm in possession of a protected PDF that I would like not to be.
I would like it to be searchable after the DRM removal. So no crappy images/screenshots.

Here is what I know about the technology:

- It says "protected by vitrium security"
- It only works with Adobe reader
- I have to paste my licence key into the actual pdf to make it readable.
- The PDF needs internet access to unlock
- Without internet access you can call a hotline and will be provided an offline unlock code.


PDF can be provided if someone serious enough wants to look into it (would send via telegram), along with the licence key if you think you can do something about it.

I'm not looking to make money out of this, only to make it readable on portable devices, ideally kindle or similar, so I won't be paying a lot for this. I would also request you not to publish the document anywhere else, and refrain from reselling it.

I can have someone vouch for the integrity of the file if that's a concern.

Please reply here or contact me on Telegram @asche24

Sounds like a challenge, I'm willing to accept a copy to see what I can do. I can give you my word that I agree to not distribute the file or its contents to anyone

Thanks for trying man

[lolxxxx]

I would like to give it a try.

I will not share the file to anyone - The file will be limited to me (If I do not succeed I will delete it as well as if I succeed delete it after sending it to the OP.

I can give this a shot too

I've read somewhere that Foxit Reader could be more "lax" with the protection and, if you have installed a "print to pdf" driver (or Microsoft XPS Document Writer) you may be able to print it like that.
I don't use telegram; if you get a more universal way to share the file and key I can also give it a shot (today or tomorrow).

Can't unlock the file at all with foxit, or any reader besides Acrobat for that matter.

Woah. That's bad.
Did you try though to install PDFCreator, doPDF or anything similar and print there?
(I guess you did; and I don't really have any other ideas  )
