.chm files. Can they be "uncompiled"?

tuxfan · 14-10-2005, 01:08 PM

I downloaded a 5MB .chm file and it isn't working

It gives me an error that simply reads "Cannot open the file myfile.chm". :roll:

.chm files are after all a collection of HTML files. Is there a way to extract individual HTML files from .chm files?

:roll: I wonder why people butt in with useless comments :roll:

Anyway, thats a baseless assumption that its warez e-book

And even if it is, how's anyone else concerned? :roll:

I don't know whether HTM2CHM can do it or not ?

Dunno if it decompiles but I used it to compile htm to chm. So Dipen01 vall ur htm files can be made into chm using HTML Help Workshop.

for decompiling and compiling the visual chm decompiler can be used.

If it is set of html files it can be converted to pdf using adobe acrobat.

It seems this chm file cannot be opened with decompilers, the file is corrupted.
