#Xcode chm reader how to#
Any suggestions regarding how to start the project would be very much appreciated as there is very limited information over the internet regarding this. Now I want to develop a project that would automatically extract all the data from these files.

I'd highly suggest buying the eBook "iText In Action"- the samples there make the whole thing much easier to grok.Įxtraction of data from PDF converted XBRL files I have some XBRL files converted into pdf. A little tricky to get your head around (steep learning curve). We use it to generate thousands of PDFs a day (with customized info inserted for each customer), and it's free. You might need to do a little massaging of the source PDF (define some form obejcts in Acrobat, etc) to get it to do exactly what you want, but it's very high performance compared to the process you're describing. You can use the PdfStamper object to dink with the original PDF and spit out customized versions very quickly. Is there a better way of doing this that would be more efferent or easier to do with out having to change from pdf->html->pdf The hotfix does not seam to fix the problem. So we have a farm that creates the pdf docs that need to be mailed out. The process can be slow since we can only do 1 at a time on a single computer because of a GDI problem. The reason we convert them into html is because the text can wrap if any of the info is too long. Generating large amounts of PDF Docs from templates Where I work we get PDF templates from our clients and we convert them into html templates that we can change out tokens in the page with other info and mail them out to their clients. If you have no index in your merged CHMs then you not see a CHW file. It makes sense to ship them, since a 10 MB file will reduce by around 80% down to 2 MB. You can safely delete a CHW as HTML Help will recreated it next time you open the CHM. They are created on the fly with out compression for speed. A CHW file holds the combined Indexes of all merged (or Collection) CHM's. So why compress? The real advantage is in reducing CHW files. The resultant CHM has the same file content but none of the null padding. To compress the CHM file we simply use an Istorage API function copy to a tempary file, then rename the file to the original CHM file. In fact some CHM's may actually grow by a few KBytes. Last point allows you to compress the dead space (if any) out of a CHM. Workflow (not expected here in context with using Sandcastle).Ĭheck if you are using merged CHM's and you may use FARįile (CHM file, CHW file). On the other hand, the external customers often ask for documentation on the Internet (sometimes internal users as well).Īsk your developers and marketing staff and try to split your SDK documentation.Ĭheck if high resolution images added in your documenation Developers often want a closed documentation as a CHM file and not a web-based help. There is a different point of view between web-based help and compiled help. He is right - as you've seen this on your own tests with a move to web-based help (40MB > 5GB) you can't have a better compression. Marco mentioned in his comment the CHM compression is decent. unchecked Indent rendered HTML, a good workflow in help authoring without problems when compiling such large CHM's. I think you have already a good configuration of Sandcastle e.g. I have little experience with such large CHM files but some ideas following. CHM is good and Sandcastle makes clean HTML. 37.000 files.Īre there any good alternatives that produce acceptable sized API documentation or is CHM that good? (or is Sandcastle just bad at producing html?) Unfortunately, first tries letting Sandcastle produce either MarkDown or HTML results in a folder of about 5GB, which is a bit too large for our likings. Recently we have been trying to have our API documentation hosted on our website along with the other forms of documentation such as tutorials, samples, and generic information. HTML alternative to CHM for large projects - c# Our SDKs API is currently (amongst others) documented using Sandcastle produced CHM file(s).
