printing chm files

Simple problem really, ... what would be the best way to print some chm files so it looks like something on paper?

I have some manuals which I'd like to have also in paper form, and printing chm page by page is a pain.

So, all ideas welcomed.


if you're using Windows:

1. extract the HTML files from the CHM container from the command prompt with HH.EXE

example:

HH.EXE -decompile C:\Temp\decompile-folder C:\Temp\yourCHM.chm

2. merge the HTML files into a single file (e.g. with SoftSnow Merger)

3. print the HTML file.

or, if you don't mind spending $19.95, you can use ABC Amber CHM Converter:

reads CHM files and converts them to PDF (doesn't require Adobe Acrobat to be installed), HTML (single file and web-site), RTF (MS Word doesn't need to be installed), HLP, TXT (ANSI and Unicode), DOC (MS Word), DBF, MDB (MS Access), CSV, XML, XLS (MS Excel), Clipboard


alternatively, you could try converting the chm to a pdf? There are quite a lot of free programs to help you do this.


In case you want to print a single topic from chm document. Right click on topic, a popup will appear, in that select option "Print the selected heading and all subtopics.".

Hope this helps you.
