Apr 12, 2011 - ineptpdf (Google it) is a tool for bypassing fileOpen PDF encryption. That 'reads a pdf encrypted with the fileOpen plugin, and attempts to write a plain pdf. Challenged Kyler Laird to crack a sample PDF file he supplied.
The FileOpen plugin that you can use with Adobe Reader for pdf documents is used for drm for ebooks and other documents that you typically have to buy from someone. I have known for some time that the FileOpen plug in will stop letting you use your paid-for documents if it detects that you have certain programs for modifying the drm on pdf's (such as Elcomsoft's APDFPR) installed even those that only work when you already have the password to open the document in the first place. What I just discovered now is that FileOpen either monitors your web surfing or at least has a list of url's or keywords it looks for in your browser which will automatically close your protected pdf documents if you go to a site. All I did was go to a page where they discuss Elcomsofts APDFPR and it pops up a message that says 'The Publisher of this document has requested that it not be opened while password cracking programs are running.
Please close all such programs then try again to open the document.' Considering that APDFPR, is legal, does not crack FileOpen and the fact that the program is not actually running but is only being researched indicates that the FileOpen software is clearly monitoring a variety of user activities on their on PC's. I don't remember giving FileOpen permission to monitor my websurfing habits in order to enforce their view of what copyright law should be but isn't (ie. They don't believe in fair use). I could not find any info about this issue on google. FileOpen is made by a company called FileOpen at fileopen.com There is no Eula. It is just a free plugin that you can download that will let you view files that have been encrypted/protected through its FileOpen Web Publisher product that it sells to companies that want to put DRM on their pdf documents.
In some cases the document requires that you sign in with your account to whatever site you bought it from. Other files come as an.exe and running it generates a unique identifier for your pc which you have to send back to the publisher for an authorization key you enter to extract the pdf. Those pdf's cannot be moved to another computer without being reauthorized with a new unique identifier. Publishers can restrict printing, text selection, how the file is viewed, changing the document, copying text, and a bunch of other things. One thing I noticed is that on print allowed documents you are not allowed to choose any printer except the default in order to prevent you from printing to a file. Similarly the plugin will also detect files that have had their protection removed and will refuse to let you open them. Download delcam powershape tutorial pdf.
Removing the plug in is relatively easy, you just delete a couple dll files from your adobe reader software directory.
FileOpen Systems responds to ElcomSoft PDF decryption Company President & CEO applauds Adobe Systems' legal efforts 17 July 2001 Sanford Bingham, President & CEO of FileOpen Systems, provided Planet PDF with the following comment on ElcomSoft and its software products that allegedly crack a variety of PDF encryption solutions, including those from FileOpen and Adobe Systems. Following is an official statement from FileOpen Systems: ' condemns the actions of in releasing software to remove encryption from PDF files. The release of this software violates the privacy of individuals who have placed password protection onto their own documents and infringes the copyright of publishers who have distributed works protected by rights management systems such as our own.
We believe that individuals have a right to restrict access to their documents and that publishers have a right to control the distribution of their works. We therefore oppose the use of tools that undermine the exercise of those rights, just as we would oppose the illegal use of tools for picking locks or breaking into cars.

The mere fact that such software can be created is no justification for doing so, still less for releasing the cracking tools as a commercial product. We have directly questioned ElcomSoft representatives on their motivations for releasing these tools, and challenged their public claims to be providing a service to consumers.
We have also warned ElcomSoft repeatedly that they are not above the laws of the United States in cases where they are distributing the software through U.S.-based servers and distributors. So we welcome and applaud Adobe's legal efforts to remove this product from the marketplace.
