Hello!

Question about chm2pdf.

Don’t know if this the right place to ask.
If not please redirect me!

Also don’t know if I have missed something in the “--help” menu of chm2pdf.
If so enlighten me please!

Q: In Ubuntu 9.10:
Using xCHM v.1.17 to read .chm-file works fine, Pictures showing up.
But after having converted to .pdf-file vith chm2pdf 0.9.1 …..
No more pictures.
A feature or a bug?

Size of .chm-file = 170KB.
Size of .pdf-file = 340KB.

@ramakanth
Try to install kchmviewer using the following command

sudo apt-get install kchmviewer

That’s it after completing the installation you should be able to view .chm files

the only way I could get chm2pdf to work was with --continuous option, it wouldn't work with --book or --title... could be because of my RFTM syndrome.. either way I hope this helps some people.
