Alright /g/, I come to you with a simple question.
Like many in college, I try to pirate as many of my textbooks as possible. Recently, there was a new textbook from this year that I couldn't find anywhere on the net.
One of my friends rented the ebook from Amazon, so I was able to run it through some anti-DRM plugin on Calibre and convert it to pdf. I want to put the pdf up on some torrent sites to help other people out, but I'm worried about the file getting traced back to him.
When I open the pdf in Adobe Acrobat Pro, it keeps complaining about some signature problems. Something along the lines of "Enfocus Preflight (invisible signature)" not being verified.
I have no idea what this is or how to remove it. Do I need to deal with it before uploading the pdf? Are there any other hidden data that can be used to trace the book back to his Amazon account?
>TL;DR can a pdf of a rented ebook get traced back to the renter

Well I can tell you a little bit about Calibre from my experience, it's an open source ebook management program that works really well with torrented ebooks.
People have developed a ton of useful plugins for it too, like the DeDRM plugin I used on my buddy's rented ebook.
All in all, just a better ebook manager, and you can also import all your books from other proprietary ebook managers.
