Turning a CHM file into a PDF

I have a bunch of CHM files but not the source files with them. I need to turn the CHMs into PDFs. I would rather not have to do this page by page. Is there an easier way to convert a CHM file into a PDF?

Hi Brook

Open your browser.
Visit the following URL: http://www.google.com
Search the page for CHM to PDF

There are several tools out there that will purportedly convert for you.

Cheers... Rick

I believe there are tools that do that which you could find by Googling. To do it for free, you could reverse engineer the CHMs as described on my site and then generate a printed output. It will only take a matter of minutes to reverse engineer the CHM.

Be aware that when you create printed output from RH with a view to subsequent conversion to PDF, you'll usually need to do a structural tune up. This is because word uses only headings to do it's heirachy where as RH can use books and nested books on top of the headings. You'll need to factor some time for this into you plans.
