I'm looking for some good tools in the Ubuntu platform which does convert the PDF to CHM files. I googled a lot. But I almost finding the tools for other way around (i.e CHM to PDF).

  • I cannot fully answer your question, because I don't work with compiled html help, but I guess, the first step is to go from the vector graphics format PDF to the markup language HTML. For this there exists a command line tool called pdftohtml which you can find in the poppler-utils package. Since converting from a graphics format to a formatted text format is not trivial, results may vary.
