CHM TO PDF Convertor

[shadow_man]

Hi guys,

Am I the only one that finds .chm files bloody annoying - I want to convert my ebooks to pdf - any good opensource or free apps out there?

PDF creator is free, but you have to "print" the docs to pdf...

Best one i've found is here so far - http://www.thebeatlesforever.com/processtext/abcchm.zip - although it does put up an annoying nag - but it will rip the whole chm to pdf whereas primo and all the others do chapter per chapter. So instead of running the program 12x I only run it once.

Only annoying thing bout this one is the url it adds on the top of each page to say this client was used - I might buy a licence....

Try my favourite little helper;

www.pdfonline.com

Upload the file, and it e-mails the PDF file to you in like 5 minutes flat.
90% success rate (as in, you get the PDF file and you can use all the elements in the file)

Interesting post, can one also convert an annoying .chm if you have Acrobat Distiller + the full blown Adobe Acrobat installed on your machine?

I was going to ask this question on the forum but someone beat me to it

Cute PDF writer is also fairly good. It works on the same printer driver principal as most others. Just google for it. It is free.

I like CutePDF and PrimoPDF. Both easy to use.
If you need to stitch different chapters together, I suggest PDF Fill PDF Editor. Works like a dream.
All free. As ever, turn to Google

For the joining of pdf's you can use pdfSAM (pdf Split and Merge). It's interface isn't initially very intuitive, but it works very well.

Cute PDF Writer combined with GhostScript works best for me.
