How to Download Books from Archive.

org

This is a workaround to get books that can only be borrowed from archive.org. This workaround
is to avoid digital rights management (DRM). You borrow the copy of the book, then input the
book into a software to strip it of the DRM. This procedure also works for openlibrary.org, such
as for The Messiah in the Old Testament. (Note: I think it requires them to have more than 1
copy so that you can borrow for 14 days, which is the only way they will let you download the
adobe pdf instead of just viewing it for an hour online. However, search the book on archive
rather than google, as it may be the case that the downloadable version is only found on archive
searching rather than google searching).

Here is the process for getting started on a first-time use.


1. Download relevant software
a. Adobe Digital Editions (link)
b. E-calibre (link)
c. DeDRM_tools (GitHub)
2. Setup software
a. Install DeDRM plugin in calibre
i. Open Calibre
ii. Preferences > Plugins > Load plugin from file

1.
2. Preferences all the way on right

3.
4. Plugins on bottom left
5. Load plugin from file
iii. Select DeDRM_Plugin.zip
b. Authorize your Adobe Digital Editions (open it up)
i. Click the box to authorize computer without ID

Here is the process for each time you want to get a book from archive.org.
1. Find a book of interest that is available for borrowing on archive.org
a. For example, Probability and Theistic Explanation by Robert Prevost (link)

b.
2. Borrow the book for 14 days and download the encrypted adobe pdf

a.
b. In the bottom right, you will see Download Options, download the encrypted pdf
c. This will be an ACSM file.
3. Open up the file in Adobe Digital Editions
4. In Adobe Digital Editions: File > Show in Explorer
a. Note: I think after you do it the first time, Calibre > Add Books will default to this
folder. Thus, after you do it once, you can skip step 4.
5. Copy and paste the file address from explorer into Calibre > Add Books
6. Open the file path from Calibre

a.
b. On the right side
7. Copy the pdf and put it wherever you want
