Read more about the disadvantages of DRM here: https://www.defectivebydesign.org/ DRM makes it very hard to open a file in the reader you want because the DRM programmers need to keep the DRM code secret. If they publish it, DRM would be worthless, because everybody could then see how they decrypt it.
