02

03
Download the PDF
Download the PDF and open it on any device.
DJVU
DjVu is a compact format for scanned books and documents, common in online libraries and scan archives.
PDF is the universal fixed-layout document format that looks the same on every screen and printer.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
AT&T Labs developed DjVu in 1996 to store scanned pages far smaller than PDF scans. It separates text and line art from the background and compresses each layer differently, so a 300-page scanned book can fit in a few megabytes. Digital libraries and archives use it widely, but most devices need a special viewer.
TARGET
Adobe introduced the Portable Document Format in 1993, and it has been an open ISO standard since 2008. A PDF fixes text, fonts, images and vector graphics onto pages, so a document prints and displays exactly as intended on any device. It is the default for sharing, printing, signing and archiving.

USE CASES
When a scanned book needs to open without a DjVu viewer.
Read a scanned book on an iPad
iPads have no built-in DjVu support, but every PDF app opens PDF.
Print pages from a digital library
Print shops and printers handle PDF.
Annotate a scanned textbook
PDF apps let you highlight and add notes.
Send a scanned document to someone
A PDF opens on any device without extra software.
Read old manuals
Technical manuals often circulate as DjVu. PDF is easier to open.
Load a scan onto an e-reader
Many e-readers display PDF but not DjVu.
Combine with other PDFs
Merge converted pages with other PDF documents.
Archive in a universal format
PDF has wider long-term support than DjVu.
Upload to a course platform
Learning platforms accept PDF uploads.
Use a scan in a citation manager
Zotero and Mendeley handle PDF best.
SUPPORTED FILES
Single-page and multi-page DjVu files are supported.
Every page of a bundled DjVu book is included.
Individual scanned pages convert too.
Both extensions are the same format.
Both are rendered into the PDF.
Big books are well within the 20GB limit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
DjVu and PDF compress scans differently.
01
DjVu compresses scans very efficiently. A PDF of the same pages is usually several times larger.
02
A scanned page is a picture. Run OCR in a PDF tool if you need selectable text.
03
Pages are rendered from the DjVu layers. Zoom in to check fine print before printing.
04
Hundreds of high-resolution pages take longer to render.
05
A damaged or incomplete DjVu can't be rendered. Download it again from the source.
06
Check that the file opens in a DjVu viewer.
On Windows you can open the file in a viewer and print it with Microsoft Print to PDF. dragdropdo converts DJVU to PDF in the browser, on any device.
