About:
djvu2pdf is a command-line utility that converts DjVu documents into the widely supported PDF format. It works by extracting the pages from the DjVu file and processing them with Ghostscript to generate a standard PDF output. This tool is essential for users who need to view or share DjVu files on devices and software that do not natively support the format.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Preserves document structure and visual fidelity during conversion
  • Lightweight and fast processing
  • Relies on standard, robust tools like Ghostscript
Use Cases:
  • Converting academic papers and scanned books from DjVu to PDF for universal access
  • Batch processing large collections of DjVu files
  • Integrating DjVu conversion into automated document workflows
Alternatives:
  • ddjvu – ddjvu can convert DjVu to various image formats or PDF, offering more granular control over output options compared to djvu2pdf's focused approach.
  • DjVuLibre – DjVuLibre provides the core libraries and tools for handling DjVu files, serving as the underlying technology that djvu2pdf utilizes.
