DJVU to PDF - Grunf - 12-29-2009

There is a (simple) way to convert extension DJVU in to PDF but if you do so in some cases PDF e-book will be a bit or "few times a bit" larger than DJVU format.

To convert DJVU in to PDF I use IrfanView program. Just open DJVU file using IrfanView and go File -- > Save as and from the list Save file as select PDF - Portable Document Format, click Save, wait few seconds and this is it...

Here are two links where you can find IrfanView program:

Hi neighbour!
IrfanView is a marvelous software (I am using it more than 10 years), and saving as PDF is a nice feature to make multipage files, but I found it strange why someone should reverse convert DjVu to PDF. Usually a scanned book is better to be in DjVu. Adobe's PDF has only advantage if the book is in text/vector/metafile format. If you compare the performance (speed and quality of the book-browsing) WinDjVu is visibly faster than Foxit PDFreader, and of course Adobe's Acrobat. And another advantage is that DjVu is very easy to work with and much faster than PDF on a PocketPC platform . I have some files that before PDF->DjVu they were impossible to be opened on a 128MB, 624Mhz PocketPC. After converting them to DjVu their display is perfect and smooth.

Of course I am considering only raster PDF files, as you are.

Maybe the only advantage of PDF(raster) over DjVu is it can be opened by somebody who has Adobe's Acrobat - and almost everybody has some type of this software.
