How to index Windows' Compiled HTML Help (CHM) Format

[Tom <ff...@gmx.net>]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to index chm-files? 
A possible solution I know is to convert chm-files to pdf-files (there are
converters available for this job) and then use the known tools (e.g.
PDFBox) to index the content of the pdf files (which contain the content of
the chm-files). Are there any tools which can directly grab the textual
content out of the (binary) chm-files?

I think chm-file indexing-support is really a big missing piece in the
currently supported indexable filetype-collection (XML, HTML, PDF,
MSWord-DOC, RTF, Plaintext). 

WBR,
Tom.
