I love this program! Sometimes you come across help file or documentation written a while ago in .CHM format but this only works on Windows. But with this HelpNDoc I can convert them to the now standardized .PDF format which has been a life saver. It is amazing how many documents, book, and how-tos were written in .CHM format. Now I can just convert it, easy as that!
The software has tons of features to create or modify existing file format like: HTML, CHM, PDF, DOC and PDF. It is easy to use, has an up-to-date look and feel utility ribbon, and give you options to work on multiple project at the same time. New features and export formats have been added. Overall pretty amazing software.

Review details
I know that this software is aimed to write manuals, but I use the free version (from many years) to write personal abstracts (study,…) and the final document (having a clear and visual separation among sections) it’s MUCH more clean & easy to create, maintain and use as reference than a wordlibreoffice document with index page.
Formatting is not advanced as a word processor, but it’s more than enough for normal use; it’s possible to insert images and has many other options (icon sections,…) with a good overall speed.
The ONLY LIMIT of the free (non commercial) version are light banner on exporting document in other format (html, doc, PDF…).
NOTE: now I have the latest version (4.8) and IT’S POSSIBLE (since earlier versions) TO EXPORT IN PDF (description in this site IMHO it’s wrong) having also index created basing on sections.
In summary, for me it’s:
– very good to write abstract for personal use
– easy to use as reference of the final document using the native format (having HelpnDoc installed) or exporting final document as pdf
