eBook, PDF or CHM? The Priority from NetAP

Cisco has been developing a great deal of industry-leading technologies and I have never seen a conscientious company like Cisco who frequently keeps updating and publishing their documents. We have to say, Cisco brings us a real network world, by its products and its networking technology. Please remember we should respect the experts and authors of Cisco, or we will never becomes them.


It’s no doubt that everyone wants to obtain the eBooks and enjoys them. But sometimes we have the question,


PDFORCHM


The persons prefer PDF because of many wonderful features in Acrobat such as Cool Type, Smooth text, Comments and Bookmarks, etc. It is the most popular eBook format in the world. PDF improved our reading experiences.


However, there are still some persons prefer CHM and in my humble opinion, most of them are experienced. CHM induces nothing but simple! It is one compiled file with texts, pictures and index. CHM saved our time.


Many PDF fans are trying to obtain the PDF files. But the fact is that, there are two kinds of PDF eBooks, Original PDF from the publishers and Converted PDF from CHM.


The original PDF is perfect and you can print out the same book as the published one. But for the Converted PDF, it has some obvious characters. Let’s have a look.

Some PDF even leaves the “Previous” and “Next” Button from CHM.4.gif



Can we make this kind of PDF eBooks from CHM ourselves? Of course. And it is easy! If you search in Google, you can get a large number of pages related with “CHM to PDF”. CHM2PDF pilot, CHM to PDF Converter, Amber CHM Converter…

There is no perfect tools as I tested from CHM to PDF directly. I recommend CHM2Word to convert CHM to DOC first and convert DOC to PDF.



If you are looking forward to PDF but you have CHM, do not wait and do it yourself! You can control the format and make the PDF nice.


In the future, We will follow the priorities below to share,



  1. Original PDF
  2. CHM
  3. Converted PDF
