What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Execute chm2pdf on a CHM file that contains spaces in its internal file
structure.
What is the expected output?
A shiny, new PDF.
What do you see instead?
user@computer ~ $ chm2pdf --book temp.chm
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/chm2pdf", line 1098, in <module>
main(sys.argv)
File "/usr/bin/chm2pdf", line 1092, in main

File "/usr/bin/chm2pdf", line 318, in convert_to_pdf
objective_urls=get_objective_urls_list(filename)
File "/usr/bin/chm2pdf", line 121, in get_objective_urls_list
urls_list.append(spline[5])
IndexError: list index out of range
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.1 on Linux Mint Debian Edition.
Please provide any additional information below.
A kind fellow named Reto has posted a solution here:

In get_objective_urls_list of the main script, change the contents of the for
loop to the following:
for line in flist.readlines()[3:]:
spline= re.sub(r".*?normal file\s*(.*?)\n$", "\\1", line)
if spline[0]=="/":
urls_list.append( spline)
flist.close()
I know little Python and even less CHM, but the fix worked like a charm for me.
Now let's see if I can't do something about removing those annoying footers in
the original CHM...
Thanks for all the time and work that's gone into chm2pdf. It has already
helped me out of a tight spot.
