I have purchased an ebook with inbuilt DRM (I won't be making that mistake again in a hurry!) in adobes pdf format. I can read it on my PC and I can "read" it using adobe's reader on my Palm (though the program is not very satisfactory). I have never entered a password for either of them. However, when I try to open the ebook via PalmPDF by clicking on Show - nothing happens. If I mark the Protected box then it asks me for a user and owner password which I do not have. Anybody managed to solve this problem? or does PalmPDF not support DRM?

Convert it for adobe's reader for Palm, copy it on the card in the folder /Palm/Launcher/ and open it with PalmPDF. This is supposed to work...

This might be enlightening, in regards to how PDF DRM can "suck".
