PDF file contains TOC only, main text is missing

chm2pdf 0.9

Bug submission following discussion in Google group chm2pdf.

When converting the NSIS User's Manual NSIS.chm, the resulting
PDF file contains only a table of content. The main text is missing.

CHM file is attached to this report and can also be downloaded
from http://nsis.sourceforge.net/

In the Google group discussion, Chris Karakas mentions that he
reproduces the problem with his development 0.9.1 version and asked
for a bug submission. Here it is...

> I tried both 0.9 and my "development" 0.9.1 version. The problem exists

This should be fixed by now, as chm2pdf strips away anchors in its current 0.9.1
version. We may change this behaviour in the future (maybe add another option 
to deal
with it), as it seems that stripping away anchors is irritating those people 
who try
to convert API documentation (which heavily depends on anchors), see

I now use chm2pdf 0.9.1 (fedora package chm2pdf-0.9.1-7.fc12.noarch) and I 
still get
the same behaviour: a PDF file of 20 pages containing the first HTML page only 
(the
table of contents).

$ chm2pdf --book NSIS.chm 
PAGES: 20
BYTES: 553387
Written file NSIS.pdf
Done.
$ 

I have attached NSIS.chm again. Could you please tell me how many pages you get 
in
the resulting PDF ?

If you view the CHM file using a CHM viewer, you can see chapters 1 to 5 and
appendices A to I. When using --extract-only, I get 167 files and directories in
/tmp/chm2pdf/orig/NSIS. But only the first HTML file in the PDF...

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance
