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

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.
