Looking for a CHM/PDF/? maker

Hello, I intend to make a guide and would like to organise it in the ways seen in PDF or CHM (preferably) style, so far all I've found is readers for these formats, is there any software to make these or any lesser known alternatives that can achieve a similar outcome? It will include text and images along with all the formatting. All I can think of is writing it in HTML, opening in Firefox and printing to file for PDF but even then I couldn't link the pages in the index. Another idea is keeping it as HTML with local link paths (for now I'll be doing it this way) but I'd like to do something a little more. Any ideas? Thanks as always.

All else being equal, I'd second progandy's suggestion of texinfo - it is the tool for this.
But all else if often not equal!  If you already know any latex (which I have to doubt, given that this was asked) then latex with `latex2man` is a recent "oh nice" discovery of mine for exactly these purposes.  Even if you don't know latex, I'd argue that learning latex will have more broad use than learning texinfo format (but then I've never really used the latter, so this may be a biased view).

  • Looking for a stylish pdf viewer to integrate into muse site. Any suggestions?

    Dear all,
    I am looking for a stylish pdf viewer that i could integrate into a muse theme. I am after something that will give a similar effect to the page below.
    http://adoreum.com/magazine/
    Any suggestions would be most welcome. I have heard that it is possible to do this using InDesign, is this a red herring???
    Many thanks in advance,
    Martin

    No. Not for PDF viewing. Most people will view PDFs either through an Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat web browser plug-in or via web browsers that have built in PDF viewers such as Google Chrome.
    What you're seeing on sites like the web site link you posted is a conversion of the PDF to another format in a "flip book" layout, a format that doesn't require the site visitor to install any plug-ins. The flip book would either be in Flash format for desktop computer browsers or HTML5 for both web browser and mobile device compatibility.
    One example is Flipgorilla: http://blog.flipgorilla.com/
    It's a free PDF to HTML5 flip book creator. They even have a Wordpress plug-in. But I'm not sure how friendly its code would be to a Muse-based web site.

  • Looking for a way to make comments in Purchase Orders

    Dear All,
    I'm looking for a way to make comments in purchase orders, in a way that
    a) such comments should not be visible for vendor
    b) such comments to be visisble in MIGO... (during GR ex.)
    thanks in advance for help
    Regards,
    Andrey

    Hi,
    I think you can always enter the text during GR creation. But seems no text flows from PO to GR during its entry.in the PO the texts maintained in the PO will be the additional info to vendor.

  • Looking for a good movie maker app for iPad 1

    Hi Everybody-
      I am looking for a good Photo/Movie maker for the iPad 1. Something that I can add Photos/Movies together and add some songs and have editing capabilities for all of it and possiabily export it as well to my PC to burn to DVD/CD.
    So if anybody can give my recomondations, I'd really appriciate it.There some good ones, but not for the iPad 1. So I wanted to get all of your suggestions so I can narrow down my search. Please let me know if you need further information as well.
    Thanks so much for your time.
    Sincerely- Douglas

    There are no movie maker apps in the App Store that will work well on the iPad 1, it just doesn't have enough RAM. If you read the reviews for the Avid app in the App Store everyone with an iPad 1 is complaining about it. iMovie, as you probably already knew, does not have a version for the iPad 1.
    Wait for the iPad 3 and then set about making movies, the 1 (which I also have) just does not have the horsepower for what you want to do.

  • Looking for an Adobe PDF form desinger

    I am looking for someone who is familiar in designing PDF forms. I have a project that I need completed. Please let me know if you are interested.
    Thanks,

    Not interested, but simply open the manual (HELP file) and read about creating forms. You can use the tools in the tool menu for an Acrobat form or the forms link to Designer to have a Designer form (no longer editable in Acrobat). Things to watch out for are to submit FDF or XML data files and to not use mail submission, but web script submission. If you have limited distribution, the email format can be used, but is a problem for general distribution of forms.

  • Looking for Head_First_Plug-in_Development.pdf

    Hello all, I'm looking for the PDF originally found here:  http://blogs.adobe.com/ae-api/2006/07/stepbystep_xcode_project_creat.html which links to http://blogs.adobe.com/ae-api/files/ae-api/Head_First_Plug-in_Development.pdf but I get a 404 - File not found error.
    Does anyone know where I can find this file?  I've searched Google but got no results.
    Thanks!

    I have to say I don't see the connection between your post and subject. It might be a mismatch between what you hope to script, and what can be done. But if you want to script Acrobat you will need to get the Acrobat SDK to start with. Adobe - Acrobat Developer Center | Adobe Developer Connection

  • Looking for a tutorial to make a paint splash

    I'm looking for a good tutorial to make a paint and water splash. It can be either for photoshop cs6 or illustrator cs6 or both. If anybody knows of one, I would appreciate it. p.s. I'm not looking to use a scatter effect. I'm looking for the glossy splash effect.

    >>Have you tried googling »photoshop tutorial splash«?
    Yes and variations such as paint splash and water splash.
    >> many tutorials may utilize photographic images as the basis of splash-effects<<
    Yep that and scatter effects is all I can find.

  • I am looking for a wall photo maker program can anyone recommend one.

    I am looking for the above can anyone help please.

    I did a search and a) the softonic download site is mentioned often and I'd not recommend using them as they like to add unwanted things to their downloads, and b) came up with one that looked promising by oreware.com - however, WOT warned that it is not a trustworthy site, so I opted not to go there.
    You will need to be very selective while searching for such a software.

  • Wi-Fi WEP security - looking for a way to make my use more secure.

      Having system results even using Kaspersky as a Internet application for security, and found the reinstall not just slow as a result of my attempts to reinstall, and failing to complete the down load. Looking for a tool that can help, any suggestions?

    Second the advice to remove the Anti-Virus software.
    WEP - Are you using System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing?
    If you are, you cannot change the protection.  It is WEP only.
    I would suggest you get a dedicated router which is capable of WPA/WPA2 encryption.
    If you have a short term need for Internet Sharing (such as a hotel room with ethernet, and you want to share with your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, etc...), then Internet Sharing for that is not that much of an issue.  After all you are trusting the hotel network :-)

  • Looking for a way to make a photo less than 100kb

    I have all the 'considered best' photo apps for my Ipad3.  I've read every manual, looked on the net, downloaded any trial photo sizer app I can find and have spent hours trying to do what I believe should be a no brainier but have not found a resolution to a simple problem.
    I'm trying to find a way to make a photo a specific MB size.  I post on a bulletin board that has a restriction of 100MB upload.  There is a great app for Mac but ways to make a photo a specific file size doesn't seem to be available for the Ipad.  After hours of searching I'm at a loss as to why there aren't any apps to do this.
    A simple app with a slider or other that will give you the MB size as you move it would be great.  Every app has a plethora of options and they still can't even do that.
    Any suggestions?
    Dan

    Thanks sberman
    That will work taking a few steps although I would think it's a last resort with fair results.  Thanks again.  While waiting for a response I decided to bite the bullet and purchase an app that looked promising.  ( Don't like to purchase as I've purchased a number of .99 apps and wasted money )
    So, I purchased this app called 'Resizer' not knowing if it would do the trick.  It did!  I even got a bonus as the app lets you upload to a photo site.  From there it's a simple paste the link and I'm done.  The app appears to have been made for the purpose of posting photos to BB's which is what I'm doing.
    I was trying to get as close to the max size as I could as they have a weekly 'photo day' and wanted the best quality.  That app did it.
    Thanks again for the suggestion.

  • Looking for a good PDF reader

    Is there any PDF reader out there that displays two pages side-by-side when turned sideway? I tried GoodReader but it doesn't do that.

    You can find a lot of info out there with google! Try out a bunch and see what you like best in the end!
    - Linux.com: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/58592
    - Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PD … _.2F_Linux
    - ghacks.net: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/11/30/linux-pdf-viewers/
    Anyway, there's some more reading. I use Evince... more or less because I'm used to it. I have had problems printing every once in a while, and I hate that it's default is not to display continuously (requiring a pg dn at a page break).
    For editing (annotating and misc) I have used either pdfEdit or gimp.
    Good luck!

  • Looking for a non-pdf manual for S3

    Does anybody know where I might be able to find a non-pdf manual for the S3 on-line?  I want to print it out the manual, but the pdf is a nightmare to print and it doesnt come out the right size - without murdering a forest (204 PAGES).  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    You can request a printed copy by mailed to you from Samsung. Check the little "Get Started" booklet that came with the phone. It will have the phone information for you to call and request one.
