1. Unzip the topazscripts.zip file to get the full set of python scripts.
The files you should have after unzipping are:
cmbtc_dump.py - (author: cmbtc) unencrypts and dumps sections into separate files
decode_meta.py - converts metadata0000.dat to human readable text (for the most part)
cmbtc_dump.py - (author: cmbtc) unencrypts and dumps sections into separate files for Kindle for PC
cmbtc_dump_nonK4PC.py - (author - DiapDealer) for use with standalone Kindle and ipod/iphone topaz books
decode_meta.py - converts metadata0000.dat to make it available
convert2xml.py - converts page*.dat, other*.dat, and glyphs*.dat files to pseudo xml descriptions
flatxml2html.py - converts a "flattened" xml description to html using the ocrtext
stylexml2css.py - converts stylesheet "flattened" xml into css (as best it can)
getpagedim.py - reads page0000.dat to get the book height and width parameters
genxml.py - main program to convert everything to xml
genhtml.py - main program to generate "book.html"
gensvg.py - (author: clarknova) main program to create an svg grpahic of each page
In addition there is now a new file:
cmbtc_dump_mac_linux.py
If you know the pid of your ipod and/or your standalone Kindle and your book
was meant for that device, you can use this program to dump the proper sections
on Mac OSX and Linux (and even Windows if you do not have Kindle4PC installed).
Thank DiapDealer for creating it!

All Thanks go to CMBTC who broke the DRM for Topaz - without it nothing else
would be possible
If you purchased the book for Kindle For PC, you must do the following:
cmbtc_dump.py -d -o TARGETDIR [-p pid] YOURTOPAZBOOKNAMEHERE
However, if you purchased the book for a standalone Kindle or ipod/iphone
and you know your pid (at least the first 8 characters) then you should
instead do the following
cmbtc_dump_nonK4PC.py -d -o TARGETDIR -p 12345678 YOURTOPAZBOOKNAMEHERE
where 12345678 should be replaced by the first 8 characters of your PID
This should create a directory called "TARGETDIR" in your current directory.
It should have the following files in it:

3. REQUIRED: Create xhtml page descriptions with embedded svg
that show the exact representation of each page as an image
with proper glyphs and positioning.
3. Convert the files in "TARGETDIR" to their xml descriptions
which can be found in TARGETDIR/xml/ upon completion.
The step must NOW be done BEFORE attempting conversion to html
genxml.py TARGETDIR
gensvg.py TARGETDIR
When complete, use a web-browser to open the page*.xhtml files
in TARGETDIR/svg/ to see what the book really looks like.
All thanks go to CLARKNOVA for this program. This program is
needed to actually see the true image of each page and so that
the next step can properly create images from glyphs for
monograms, dropcaps and tables.
4. Create book.html which can be found in "TARGETDIR" after
completion. This html conversion can not fully capture
all of the layouts actually used in the book and needs to
be edited to include special font handling such as bold
or italics that can not be determined from the ocrText
information or the style information. If you want to
see things exactly as they were, see step 5 below.
4. Create "book.html" which can be found in "TARGETDIR" after
completion.
genhtml.py TARGETDIR
***IMPORTANT NOTE*** This html conversion can not fully capture
all of the layouts and styles actually used in the book
and the resulting html will need to be edited by hand to
properly set bold and/or italics, handle font size changes,
and to fix the sometimes horiffic mistakes in the ocrText
used to create the html.
5. Create an svg description of each page which can
be found in TARGETDIR/svg/ upon completion.
FYI: Sigil is a wonderful, free cross-
platform program that can be used to edit the html and
create an epub if you so desire.
All thanks go to CLARKNOVA for this program. This program is
needed to actually see the true image of each page so that hand
editing of the html created by step 4 can be done.
Or use the resulting svg files to read each page of the book
exactly as it has been laid out originally.
5. Optional Step: Convert the files in "TARGETDIR" to their
xml descriptions which can be found in TARGETDIR/xml/
upon completion.
gensvg.py TARGETDIR
genxml.py TARGETDIR
These conversions are important for allowing future (and better)
conversions to come later.
