Hello Dear Community, 

I would like to import a .chm file on a confluence page.

Is there a macro that can help me? 

I tried to convert file into a docx and import on confluence but links were broken during conversion.

I am trying to do the same, there are currently two ways that I have found.

One is to convert chm to html and then use new functionality "import from other tools" that allows you to import a zip with multiple html files inside. Each html file will be a confluence page. One limitation is that this will create a new space, so you cannot import on an already existing space.

Another way is to convert the html files to adf (atlassian json format) files and call the rest api to create page for each file. This allows you to add pages in existing pages but it's slower as multiple calls needs to be done.

 

The convertion from chm to html is feasible using some free tools or use of AI to create a powershell script to do the conversion but confluence does not import the html files very well at the moment. I am exploring second option to import adf directly but it's a bit time consuming.
