WinDjView

What exactly is DjVu?

DjVu is a format to store scanned documents in a digital form (ebook), it is similar to PDF but utilizes lossy compression for a more compact size. Similar to PDF you will be able to copy and paste from the document itself using a technique called Optical character recognition (OCR).

Even though DjVu has a lot of features in addition to the fact that it was open-source from the beginning in contrast to PDF which was proprietary at first, DjVu did not achieve widespread use and PDF became the standard for eBooks on almost all platforms. Some of the features that distinguish DjVu from PDF are:

• Uses less storage space by using better compression.
• Open source from the beginning.
• Faster especially for documents with more graphics.
