Pdf To Djvu Gui is now portable (ver 2.0). As says the name it is a free pdf to djvu converter.
It writes the settings on an ini file.
Have a nice day

The results really amazed me! Resulting .djvu files are half of the original pdfs size! And look very good in WinDjvu.

Could you recommend a Portable Djvu Reader? I found one
here but was wondering what else was available. Since I read that WinDjView stores settings in the registry

I use a
JPE version of WinDjvu. You can also use a
JPE version of STDU Viewer.
I'll keep looking for a natively portable djvu viewer (or we could spam Mr. Andrew Zhezherun with requests, for he already
promised this feature a year ago
).

Great news about STDU Viewer. Though I had my own NSIS-compressed portable STDU weighting only 1.4 MB but I'm happy to switch to the official one.

In recent testing, I got some very interesting results with PDF to DjVu GUI v2.5:
Just to get a DJVU file to test, I ran the RedCrab
readme.pdf through this program and got some startling results:
- If you use default settings with 150 dpi, you get a file 1/3rd the size of the original PDF. This was expected as a good chunk of what FileOptimizer does to compress files is just a smaller DPI.
- If you do the same but uncheck antialias, you get a file 1.6% the size of the original. Seriously. The text doesn't look super sharp but it's very readable as well as searchable.
File sizes:
Comparison of anti-alias versus not:
I haven't seen space savings like that since I started converting large BMPs to JPG back in the 90s.
Anyway, if you could package a lightweight viewer in with whatever software you're distributing, it might make sense to distribute DJVU files rather than PDFs.
