MSDN uses HTML Help 2, which Microsoft never released, right?
I'd consider RH if you are going to move your content entirely within
RH. Someone with more recent RH experience should comment on their PDF
output, but I think you need to output to Word first.
I'd consider AIT if you are going to move your content entirely within
AIT. Someone with AIT experience should comment on their PDF output,
but I think it outputs to RTF first.
I'd consider WWP if you are going to keep your content entirely within
MS Word. You'd print the PDF from Word.
AFAIK, none of these tools give you HTML Help "2."
