    chm to pdf app?

    Like the tile says...

    Is there an OSx app out there that will compile an orderd PDF from a .chm ebook?

    Or, alternatively, is there a technique to do this via HTML (CHM > HTML > PDf)?

    Cheers

    You can try these apps to view the chm files, and when viewing, then Print > Save to .. pdf dialogue. These are all freeware apps:

    Or you could use Automator when these files are open to convert them further.

    Yeah, had a look at these yesteday. My plan was to do exactly what you said... print > save to pdf, but none of them compile the whole thing to a single pdf. I don't really fancy printing 400 pages individually.

    Thanks for the reply tho. =)

    There's an app called Tubby down the page that provides a simpler way to do it than editing unix code.



    Or Chimp:

    One person suggested printing to a .ps file and using Acrobat Distiller to rip a pdf. Might work too.
