chm2pdf w linuxie

I’ve tried a lot of ways to do this thing in Linux (Ubuntu) and finally I found the easiest one to use.

Called simply as ‘chm2pdf‘, this is a small script written in Python and it uses a few dependencies you might have to install first.

Now to install it, simply follow this guide:

1. Install dependencies by running in the Terminal:

sudo apt-get install htmldoc libchm-bin python-chm

2. Download chm2pdf by clicking this.

3. Now extract the downloaded file.

4. Open your Terminal and browse to the folder you extracted and run:

sudo python setup.py install


5. You’re done!

Now to use it is very simple:

In Terminal, type:
chm2pdf -book filename.chm
(Where filename is obviously your required file to be converted.)

And surprise surprise, a PDF copy will be waiting for you just next to your CHM file!
