Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

DjVuLibre djview - view djvu and convert to pdf

#1 Post by SlowLearner »

I doubt if it is stealth - but I was just happy to find a free prog to convert my djvu files to PDFs.

I installed - moved the DjVuLibre folder from Program files and uninstalled.

Web page:
http://djvu.sourceforge.net/

Windows download:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/djvu/fi ... e_Windows/

I like the GPL license but is it better than this program: http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1551 ?

Hi

This goes the opposite way to "Pdf To Djvu GUI" - DjVuLibre converts djvu into PDFs

Yes, it helps to read the actual entry when someone posts.

Sorry.

Tested: Not Portable

It created a lot of Registry entires HKCU\Software\Trolltech & HKCU\Software\DjVuLibre, plus I used UniExtract and didn't install, this is probably why these entries didn't show in your testing.

Although this is not portable, it is a great software!

You can always use JauntePE or some .bat file to delete the registry entries (you can add the Trolltech key, too):

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DjVuLibre]
7zip is also able to extract the files.

I just used it to convert some .djvu file to .pdf and it worked well.

Old thread update: the size specs on the site are fairly staggering:
  • bitonal scanned documents: 5 to 30KB per page at 300dpi (3 to 10 times smaller than PDF or TIFF)
  • color scanned documents: 30 to 100KB per page at 300dpi (5 to 10 times smaller than JPEG).
  • photos: 2 times smaller than JPEG, about the same as JPEG-2000, but the decoder/renderer is progressive and has minimal memory requirements.
  • palettized images: 2 times smaller than GIF (up to 10 times if it's mostly text).
  • digital (non scanned) documents: between 1 and 3 times smaller than PDF or gzipped PS (depending on the amount of pictures), but rendering, page flipping, zooming, panning are incomparably faster, and the image quality on screen desplays is much better (antialiased text, etc).
Holy crap. I really need to test that.

If the stats and space savings above are accurate, that might be worthwhile.

I guess this program was added to the database because there were so few DjVu utilities, but as there are several now, should we downvote it? Or maybe someone could put together a YaP file for it?
