When googling chm to pdf saw lists of other utilities, some commercial, with some negative comments about conversion quality. Searching more Calibre links took me to: does anyone know if using 'chmdeco' is worthwhile ? My end objective, is to be able to 'print' typically 1 chapter from a sizeable 500+page CHM technical documents, i.e formatted & hyperlinkded ToC, Chapters, text diagrams, index. Is there a set of recommended Settings to 'tune' the Calibre CHM i/p plugin ? I read ( /conversion) you use a system of i/p & o/p plugins, saw much that requires good knowledge of html (don't have), but no simple instruction on improving CHM conversions. Is there anything I can do to help Calibre CHM converter to work better ?

Even the simplest of non-MS programs I use are able to recognise the default Printer Driver without asking me to install it again !!Īs Foxit can easily generate a user defined selection of pages into a new PDF file using my CutePDF Print Driver, I thought all I need now is a CHM2PDF converter - that ACCURATELY converts CHM to PDF, and problem solved.

I found the Windows HTML Help Viewer inadequate in 2 respects: its Print function very primitive - a) doesnt allow one to select a page range for printing, b) doesnt seem to recognise my installed default Print Driver: 'CutePDF Writer' - just presents me with a 'Add Printer' dialog. Reason I want to convert to PDF is for easy emailing of selected pages to be printed on a remote printer - and I found PDF is the easiest format for non-technical people to print from. Just in case anyone thinks the source CHM is corrupted, it works perfectly using the MS Windows HTML viewer This produced a 5.3MB PDF - but also badly converted. I tried again, this time using default o/p format EPUB. All it had was the 'ToC' from the source file, i.e just a few pages, not the 690 pages of the complete source. CHM was 5.9MB, but o/p PDF only 297KB -far too small. Altered default o/p format from ePUB to PDF. CHM shown in the list, I clicked ' Convert Books'. CHM Book I wanted to convert, it just invoked the primitive Windows ' HTML Help' applet that is part of Win7 - no different than clicking on a. Installation of latest (0.48.48) Calibre straightforward, no questions as to formats. PDF converter and was pointed to your Calibre as having a format converter that included.
