Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run command on chm book
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to get a structured pdf file.
Instead I get
ERR002: Error: no pages generated! (did you remember to use webpage mode?
Something wrong happened when launching htmldoc.
exit value:  256
Check if output exists or if it is good.
Done.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am running v. 9.1 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron

Please provide any additional information below.
I saw that a similar bug was posted, but tagged invalid after instructions
to read the man page were given.  I read the man page, and this seems to be
a bug, or an issue with certain chm format books.  The chm files in
question have navigation capabilities.  Unless I am mistaken, that means
they are structured.

I have the same problem and no solution yet... it should be noted that I'm a 
rookie.
 Maybe someone will find this thread and help us out!  Best luck!

Same problem. I've tried it with about 10 structured chm files and only one of 
them
worked. The rest of them returned that same error message.

Same issue here. The output I get is identical to what "lowid95" got. System is 
OS X
10.5.6, using latest macports packages.

Using chm2pdf 9.1 on Ubuntu 9.04 (installed from repository).  I have tried four
different structured CHMs and have had the same error you received on every 
trial.

In case of structured chm files, use --webpage option. It works but the Links 
in the
pdf file fail. But it works.

my $.02

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala amd64
chm2pdf 0.9.1

Trying to generate pdf from structured chm
Output none. Console output:

ERR002: Error: no pages generated! (did you remember to use webpage mode?
Something wrong happened when launching htmldoc.
exit value:  256
Check if output exists or if it is good.
Done.

The --webpage option does work, but generates beside real content some blank or
nearly blank pages and some picture-through-text overlapping appears also.
