Just bought an “enhanced eBook”, accessible only through Yuzu (Barnes and Noble’s site) and I would love to rip it to PDF and get it on libgen. Does anyone have any advice or tutorial for this?
I don’t have much experience with writing scripts but I understand I could use python to screenshot and append all 800+ pages as well. Looking for how to do this if it’s what I have to do.
Thanks, and happy to provide more relevant info if needed!
pdf = pikepdf.open(‘filename.pdf’, allow_overwriting_input=True)
pdf.save(‘new_filename.pdf’)
#That’s if you have it in the same folder. You can make that script more clever. It strips off DRM stuff like printing, copying, editing permissions that are respected by most programs. Probably kills your DRM too.

Unfortunately not :( thanks though.
Have you tried acquiring the file from ‘elsewhere’ (see megathread)?
yeah, libgen + others, it’s a recent edition and unavailable so far. Figured I’d try to get it available to others myself :)
#pip install pikepdf
import pikepdf
pdf = pikepdf.open(‘filename.pdf’, allow_overwriting_input=True)
