  • How to convert a CHM to a PDF from SumatraPDF

The .chm file format stands for Microsoft Compiled HTML Help and it is a proprietary type for the online help files. It was produced and released by Microsoft and it is similar with the LIT format - basically a modified version of CHM and adapted for e-books. All the documentation is saved in a compressed HTML format and includes images, text and links. Some CHM files can also be viewed in a web browser with or without additional add-ons.

CHM files are specially optimized for reading and are heavily indexed. However the format also contains a couple of flaws, a big one representing the ability to contain and execute custom code which in regards to security can be considered a threat. Also another downfall is the limited support for Unicode.

This is why choosing a different format for day to day handling or archiving such as the PDF one can be very useful. With the help of a PDF converter such as novaPDF for example, a PDF can contain enhanced security, high quality elements, full Unicode support with font embedding, signatures, on the fly mail sending and more.
