chm2pdf 0.0.3 is out!

Sorry for the long delay, but this little script is not dead. chm2pdf
0.0.3 is out: now with image support! (Intra-pdf links still dead, anyway. But I had suggestions on how to solve them.)

Download it here.

The script logic changed quite a lot, and it is still very rough
around the edges (0.1 is still -relatively- far). I'd like everyone of
you to test it as much as possible, since it is very likely that bugs
and quirks will occur. My knowledge of the CHM file format is
tentative at best.

Let me know how it works for you.

As for the xtopdf collaboration, I have to reconnect myself with the xtopdf developer to see. I'd like to have chm2pdf in a decent state (0.1) before, anyway.

Announcing chm2pdf

Again in the world of interconverting formats, but this time it is something little I did myself. I had the necessity to print a CHM file but printing it page-by-page is of course painstaking. How I would have liked a PDF of that file... but how?

Well, I scratched my itch and I wrote a very little and raw, but functional CHM to PDF command line converter. You can find it here and it's called, quite obviously, chm2pdf. It is a small Python script that glues together chmlib (via pychm), pdftk and htmldoc. Installation and usage should be straightforward. Functionality is still pretty limited (images are still not converted, for example) but hey, it's version 0.0.2 ...

Let me know what do you think about it and drop me a mail for any feedback.
