CHM files are the de-facto distribution standard of e-books in some circles (O’Reilly) etc, and though these can be opened natively on a Windows machine, the same cannot be said for OSX. One of the best (though certainly not the most popular for some reason) app for opening CHM files on OSX is [iCHM](http://www.robinlu.com/blog/ichm?ref=tim.sodhis.org "iCHM"). I found this app after having tried a number of commercial apps and finding them wanting in one department or the other. 

iCHM is a one stop shop for opening/printing CHM files. Visually pleasing and quite intuitive, iCHM also prints directly to PDF. Perfect. And best of all, this app, is free! Try it today.
