dv3500ea имеет отличный ответ chm2pdf, но я предпочитаю читать их как html-файлы.

Короче:

sudo apt-get install libchm-bin
extract_chmLib myFile.chm outdir

Источник: chm2pdf answer

Затем откройте ./outdir/index.html, чтобы просмотреть преобразованные html-файлы ! Yaaay! Намного лучше. Теперь я могу перемещаться по нему, как файл .chm, но я также могу использовать браузер Chrome для поиска страниц для текста, легко распечатать и т. Д.

Давайте сделаем команду под названием chm2html [!d6 ]

Вот хороший сценарий, который я написал.

chm2html.py файл:

#!/usr/bin/python3

"""
chm2html.py
- convert .chm files to .html, using the command shown here, with a few extra features (folder names, shortcuts, etc):

- (this is my first ever python shell script to be used as a bash replacement)

USAGE/Python command format: `./chm2html.py fileName.chm`
 - make a symbolic link to this target in ~/bin: `ln -s ~/GS/dev/shell_scripts-Linux/chm2html/chm2html.py ~/bin/chm2html`
   - Now you can call `chm2html file.chm`
 - This will automatically convert the fileName.chm file to .html files by creating a fileName directory where you are,
then it will also create a symbolic link right there to ./fileName/index.html, with the symbolic link name being
fileName_index.html
