This way you may end up with a document that has only the text or only the images or only the part of what was in the original, depending on its layout.ДЇor manual conversion, the remaining steps are the same as described above, except if the images are bitonal, you may want to use the more efficient JBIG2 encoding.

To extract only one layer of a DjVu page as images with DjVuLibre ddjvu utility, the following commands can be used (see which one of them produces a better result):Дdjvu -format=tif -eachpage -mode=foreground book.djvu pageimage%d.tifДdjvu -format=tif -eachpage -mode=mask book.djvu pageimage%d.tifДdjvu -format=tif -eachpage -mode=background book.djvu pageimage%d.tifДЄfter figuring out the needed value for the mode parameter, the conversion can be done like this:Дdjvu -format=pdf -mode= book.djvu book.pdf

In some cases, images extracted from the mask layer can be much smaller in size while bearing a good representation of the text. Depending on the way the DjVu file was encoded, the meaningful information may be in the foreground, background or the mask layer. If the remaining meaningful layer turns out to be bitonal (black-and-white), then the optimal JBIG2 compression can be used. It is not strictly necessary for the document to still look all right.

This approach is suitable for scanned DjVu books that have a multi-coloured background that came from scanner, which in PDF will take up a lot of size. What we can do is extract only the layer that bears text (and maybe some other meaningful foreground information with it) and make the PDF out of it. When converting, all these DjVu layers of a page are combined into one image, which for some reason almost always turns out to be such that JPEG compression doesn't perform very well on it, and as the result, the output file turns out to be several times larger than the original. The DjVu format uses a smart system of layers which allows to separate the text from the background and have a different approach to compression of them, while the PDF format simply uses the JPEG compression.

The last step is to assemble the PDF file out of these images.Д¬onverting only the layer that bears text Д¬onverting coloured DjVu to PDF directly often results in unnecessarily large size of the output.

In case the conversion to PDF will be done with XnView nconvert, you can apply some editing along the way (see nconvert's self-explaing help: nconvert -help). See Help:Reducing the file size of large PDF or DjVu scanned books.

Optionally, use ImageMagick convert or some other means to edit these images as you like, possibly making them smaller while keeping acceptable quality.

To get a coloured PDF of a reasonable size, these steps may work: With a virtual printer, any printable document of any format can be converted to PDF, but the results are not always satisfactory.Д¬onverting manually Colour documents

PDF-XChange Lite Printer is an example of a free virtual PDF printer.

When 'printing' with that printer, the result is saved as a file on your computer.

#Convert djvu software

A virtual printer is a piece of software that installs itself as a printer which appears on the list of printers in the Print dialog box. STDU Converter mentioned above supports it.ДjVu can be converted to PDF by means of so-called virtual printers. Fortunately, there are ways to convert using this optimal bitonal compression. There is another compression method available for PDF called JBIG2 which produces output of about twice less in size. In case of bitonal (black-and-white) DjVu's, the produced PDFs are acceptable in size, but they use Fax (CCITT Group 4) compression. That's why black mode was specified in the above example. However, the problem is that if the document is in color, the resulting PDF is often huge in size, so there is a need for some means to get PDF files of more manageable size. It supports the efficient JBIG2 encoding for bitonal (black-and-white) documents.ДjVuLibre's ddjvu command line tool has an option to convert DjVu to PDF (see documentation):Дdjvu -format=pdf -mode=black input.djvu output.pdf It has a user-friendly interface with useful features. The STDU Converter utility allows to convert DjVu to PDF. Using ready software solutions Using GUI software
