recreating help pages from a .chm file

New Here ,
Sep 20, 2007 Sep 20, 2007
Hello,
I have a situation where numerous help pages have been removed from a project. I think this happened when we had some problems witha network drive & checking files from this location into a source control tool. It has gone unnoticed until now. The .chm file is intact & I'm wondering if there is a way of recreating my project from the .chm file?

any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Maxine. You can decompile a CHM using the HTML Help Studio tool in RH. However this does not recreate the project files (e.g. TOC, .XPJ, etc.). You would have to create a new project, import in the necessary files and rebuild any build tags, TOC, etc.). It would be much quicker and easier to try and find the source for the CHM before going down this route.

There's a topic on my site about reverse engineering from a CHM to get a full RH project again.
