How to convert this chm file to pdf? [duplicate]

I want to convert a chm file to a pdf file. Calibre's command ebook-convert ebook-convert 1.chm 1.pdf only converts the first 7 pages of the chm file into a pdf file, while the chm file has much more pages. How can I convert the whole chm file into a pdf file? Thanks.

You probably want to use chm2pdf from the universe repository.

You can install it either by clicking the red button or by running the terminal command below:

sudo apt-get install chm2pdf

You then run the command like this:

chm2pdf OPTIONS FILENAME.CHM FILENAME.PDF

Note that as OPTIONS, you must at least specify either

• --book (structured output: headings, chapters, ...),
• --webpage (unstructured, but page breaks between different documents/URLs in the CHM file), or
• --continuous (unstructured output)

For more information, see man chm2pdf or its online manpage .

Try a different online converter. Zamzar is useful if the CHM file is under 100MB.

Another option is to use chm2pdf. To do so, use the following commands in a terminal session...

sudo apt-get install chm2pdf
chm2pdf foo.chm foo.pdf

That second command assumes that your CHM file is named 'foo.chm', so adjust that as appropriate.
