A CHM (Microsoft Compiled HTML Help) file is a type of file that contains an index file, several HTML files, and a hyperlinked table of contents. Essentially, CHM files can be opened in a browser and allow users to navigate to individual paragraphs or pages by selecting the appropriate hyperlink in the Table of Contents. CHM files are mostly used for tutorials and help files, but are also frequently used for e-books.

 

What is PDF?

A PDF (Portable Document Format) file is one that is specifically used for e-books, but can be used for tutorials, manuals, and any other document type. PDF files allow users to access a Table of Contents that is made of hyperlinks, much like CHM files, but also allow the user to highlight text, jump to a specific page by entering a page number into the page field, and include notes in the document.

 

CHM to PDF Converter

CHM to PDF Converter, available from Softany and other third-party websites, allows users to quickly convert CHM files to PDF files without manually entering information. CHM To PDF Converter automatically extracts content and data such as page numbers, chapters, headers, footers, and hyperlinks from a CHM file, and creates a PDF document that has all of this information in the appropriate areas.

 

Batch CHM To PDF Converter

Batch CHM To PDF Converter is similar to CHM To PDF Converter, but is specifically designed to convert large amounts of CHM files simultaneously. Those who have large CHM file collections on a server, computer, or other media device often use Batch CHM to PDF Converter. As Microsoft no longer supports CHM files, Batch CHM To PDF Converter allows users to access information that they would have otherwise lost.
