PDF to DjVu converter

Overview

pdf2djvu creates DjVu files from PDF files.

It's able to extract:

• graphics,
• text layer,
• hyperlinks,
• document outline (bookmarks),
• metadata (including XMP metadata).

pdf2djvu is developed primarily for Unix-like systems, but a Windows distribution is available too.

Prerequisites

The following software is required to build pdf2djvu:

• C++11 compiler;
• GNU make;
• DjVuLibre (≥ 3.5.25), both the library and the command line tools;
• Poppler (≥ 0.62), including xpdf headers;
• pkg-config.

The following software is recommended:

• gettext for internationalization;
• Exiv2 (≥ 0.21) and libuuid (part of util-linux or e2fsprogs) for correctly dealing with XMP metadata;
• GraphicsMagick for the --fg-colors=N option.

For the -j/--jobs option, the compiler must support OpenMP.

To run the tests, the following software is needed:

• Python 2.7;
• nose.

To correctly convert some PDF files (mostly in Chinese, Japanese or Korean), the poppler-data package must be installed.
