If you want to decompile a CHM, you'll have o use a windows tool called CHM Decompiler or other similar tools available. You can do it under Virtual PC or ask a friend of yours who owns a PC.
There you get the HTML files.
After that, you can use Adobe Acrobat to "Create a PDF from a Web Page" and there you have your PDF.

Tried a few things including chmtools - which is a command line tool athat runs in OS X. It works fine - but creates a dir full of horribly named files. Finally found best solution was using HTML Help Workshop:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=14188
Run it in VPC, select chm and it decompiles into a dir of your choice with somewhat more user-friendly filenames (e.g. chap001.htm, chap002.hmt, etc).

It look's like a best solution:

chm2web by A!K Research Labs [recommended] Shareware ($39.95)
Allows you to create a browser-based platform-independent Help with an expandable tree-like table of contents, index and full text search from an already created compiled HTML help. You can create both frame and frameless variants based on templates. Chm2web also has a build-in chm files decompiler.

This program has a trial period and you can use it to convert your chm files.

Good news, guys! Now it's possible to read chm files with xCHM ported by Chanler White:
xCHM is a .chm viewer for MacOS X. xCHM can show the contents tree if one is available, print the displayed page, change fonts faces and size, work with bookmarks, do the usual history stunts (forward, back, home), provide a searchable index and seach for text in the whole book.
