Re: .chm file to .pdf file

[Dennis Johnson <dadwrite -at- prodigy -dot- net>]

A little googling found:

- a linux version of html2pdf, after you do .chm to .html
(http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lab/5247/)

- shareware for .chm to .pdf directly
(http://www.colorpilot.com/chm2pdf.html)

- other methods (see http://www.helpware.net/FAR/far_faq.htm and
http://www.cybertext.com.au/tips_HTML_pdf_from_chm.htm)
