problem with .chm to .mobi conversion
Hi,
I've get a problem when i'm trying to convert .chm to .mobi(or .epub). After conversion I receive only table of contents with working links to pages like "preface", "introduction". The whole book content is missing. Please give me some advice. Thank you Last edited by mikos; 12-07-2011 at 12:11 PM. |

ok, i've seen that the problem is with chapters coding.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:11.25pt;"><b><span style="font-family:Verdana; font-size:18pt; color:rgb(102,102,102);"><font face="Arial Unicode MS">Chapter 2. Genetic Disease </font><span style="font-family:Verdana; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(51,51,51);"><font face="Arial Unicode MS"> </span></b></font></p> I've tried convert the document with enabled heurystics but it didn't work for me. |

You can convert chm to hmtl by download this tool
http://www.northbright.com/chmtool/download.html and fix the codes manually and use calibre to convert it. Another long way of doing it is to download sigil, fix the codes, save it as epub and then use calibre to convert to mobi. But you need to learn how to use sigil which is not that simple. |

i've converted the .chm book to .mobi almost succesfuly using calibre. Weird thing cause with .epud extension only TOC worked and with .mobi I've all pages. However all images are missing. Could anybody advice me something?
I've done same thing using htm files. I've created manualy TOC and then converted the .htm file to mobi. It looks even better than previous conversion but still images are missing. Last edited by mikos; 12-08-2011 at 07:17 AM. |

If the conversion to html is working, you should be able to use calibre to convert to epub. However if the html is still problematic, upload it somewhere and I'll take a look at it.
Throw in the chm, just so that I can try see what's wrong with it - sounds like it's been damaged or has some strange stuff in it. |

Ah, yeah that's pretty badly mangled - I've got the bulk of the cleanup done, however since its entirely based on tables, I'll have to figure out something for the conversion to paragraphs.
Will see if I can find some time tomoz, however in the mean time you can remove the dropbox link |

Thanks Serpentine! I didn't know what I was looking for so I couldn't judge. I know it is a busy time of the year so any further assistance is over and above the call of duty but greatly appreciated.

Thanks Serpentine. What a hero. I am really thankful for your generosity. Let's see how much karma I can give one snake.

Hi Serpentine and Cindy, I have the same chm converting problem: only the table of content is converted into epub or mobi. I tried to use the chm tool as above, but with limited knowledge of html coding, I still don't know how to fix the problem to convert the whole book. Can you please help me? Thanks a lot.

cpewy, Unfortunately I am not going to be able to help. Serpentine did it for me and I didn't get a chance to ask him what method he used. If he replies then maybe he can let us know how to do it ourselves.
