Files to get / install
 0. the place where the original idea is written 
	http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Adobe/Gallery/anon-ebook-to-pdf.txt
 1. Adobe Acrobat (full 6 is the best)
	it installs the needed ADobe PDF printer drivers as well
	if you have no access to it, then get the drivers from:
		http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html 
		(PostScript printer drivers section)
 2. get the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader
	http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
	a. activate the DRM (tools/ebok web services/adobe DRM activator)
		it goes to the page where you can activate it, as I hate the
		M$ .NET passport thing, I signed in using the link:
		"I prefer not to sign in using Microsoft .NET Passport " just under the table
		you'll need to get an adobe ID, after a while it will be activated
 3. now get Ghostscript
	http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/get814.htm
	the original file says to use 7.04, but I tried the method with the latest (8.14) and
	works just as well
	a. install gs wherever you want (c:\gs for my system was good (default))
	b. now go into the gs\gs8.14\lib directory and find the file called : gs_pdfwr.ps
	c. change all : currentdevice .devicename /pdfwrite eq {
	       to this: currentdevice .devicename /pdfwritexxx eq {
	try running it on any .ps file
	if you are using win, and get a gswin32c.exe not found, then edit : ps2pdfxx.bat
		just change the path parameter to the absolute address (c:\gs\gs8.14\bin\gswin32c)
		or create the environment variable %GSC%

Printing and recreating the PDF
 1. Get the file from the site
 2. Open it in Acrobat 6
 3. Print it with following settings:
	a. printer: Adobe PDF (Adobe's own installed printer)
	b. print to file checked
	c. printer properties:
		page size: set to a size you can get from the file using the measuring tool
			usually you'll need to add a custom page. It's very important, as 
			using the wron sizer causes an ugly white border and the file will 
			be bigger.
		conversion settings: I use standard (usually it's enough for most ebook that could be found)
		adobe PDF security: leave on none :) (we ARE trying to make it without limitations)
		uncheck the "Do not send fonts to Adobe PDF": if you don't do it, then it won't print
			or you'll lose all OCR and font information
	d. check the preview if it looks good or need to be adjusted
 4. click OK, then give an output filename with full path (eg.: c:\whatever.ps)
 5. wait while it finishes
 6. run: ps2pdf14 
 7. again wait while it finishes (hopefully without any errors)
 8. the file is ready :)
check the filesize, if everything went smoothly the size should be at maximum 2 
times the original filesize. this can't be helped with this method, as the 
file is rebuilt with a different PDF making engine. 
(but some files become actually smaller in the process)
also open it in A6(reader) and try to copy a line to notepad to see if the text is correctly
retained
that's all I do to view the files without restrictions

places to get sample files:
http://drivethrurpg.com                          : RPG books (see free book of the week specials)
http://librarydemo.adobe.com/library/default.asp : different sample books that are lent to you using DRM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some tips for books from DTRPG.com:
- the first 2 pages are the covers, they are usually different in size in the PDF, then the rest
	of the pages, so print that 2 page to another file (cover.ps), then the rest of the book --> this way they all the pages will look good
	then simply use the create PDF from multiple images in the full A6 (or ask someone
	to do that step)
- sometimes GS sends an error before finishing the page, it's usually because some element 
	that is printed can't fit on the page (2nd reason why to set the page sizes in the 
	first phase (printing))
	if you still get an error, open the DRMd file in A6 and print again
- if you are not satisfied with the result (page displays much slower than original) try messing with
	A6's options when printing (or for experts even GS's options) and recreating a new PDF
- when checking the file yo see an error (blank page, missing pictures, etc.) check the DRMd file for the same
	problems. In my experience the process doesn't add errors, but are errors in the original file
	--> complain / make the publisher release a corrected version (if it wasn't a free sample you payed money for
	it so you have the rigth not to accept a flawed PDF)
	(DTRPG.com is suprisingly good at this, they correct all mistakes found and in a mail send the address
	to get the corrected PDF. --> they actually care about customer feedback :) )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	
for those who want to share the unprotected PDF
	- remember that it's illegal to distribute the book, and for some companies it can hurt
	that they won't release anything new ever
	- always check the whole book page-by-page for errors, not to distribute a bad file
	- if it was an OCR always check that the text can be copied without problem (usually you won't have any
	problems, but make sure)
