Data chunk has its data size at offset 4 (from chunk start) or, for the first chunk at offset 8 (from the file beginning).Ĭhunk size is big-endian (highest byte first). DjVu has been promoted as an alternative to PDF, promising smaller files than PDF for most scanned documents.ĭjVu Document files must have a signature (tag) AT&T at the beginning of the document followed by FORM tag which points to the data chunk. Readable images to be stored in a minimum of space, so that they can be made available on the web. It uses technologies such as image layer separation of text and background/images, progressive loading,Īrithmetic coding, and lossy compression for bitonal (monochrome) images.

5 million full text books freely in the open formats such as HTML, TIFF and DJVU.DjVu eBook Signature Format: Specification & DjVu Recovery ExampleĭjVu is a computer file format designed primarily to store scanned documents and books,Įspecially those containing a combination of text, line drawings, indexed color images, and photographs. The famous million book collection is an example of using DJVU format extensively. Who knows, DjVu may even replace PDF files especially when it comes to scanned colour documents such as text books. These features make DjVu an ideal format for scanning colour text documents for electronic distribution. So the user will have an initial view very quickly and after few moments only the full quality image is displayed. Also the decompression of a DjVu file is done in several steps. Due to this high compression technology a DjVu file with lot of text is significantly lower in size than a similar file in PDF. The other two image layers are stored in colour in low resolution.
And instead of recording all other occurrences of the same character it records only the location of subsequent occurrences. It compresses a particular character only once. The mask image which is in high resolution is used to store the text layer and uses a special compression technique. Unlike other compressions, in DjVu a file is compressed as 3 images namely the foreground image, background image and the mask image. First is the compression technology that is being used.
There are several important technologies being used in DjVu that makes it possible to have very clear images in such small file sizes. (I am yet to test these in practice)ĭjVu files are also about 3 to 8 times smaller than black and white PDF files produced from scanned documents The commercial ownership is only on the encoding technology.īelow are some interesting comparisons from. Similar to PDF, any user can view a DjVu document by installing a browser plug-in which is available freely.

However DjVu is a free file format which means the specifications and the reference libraries are freely available. Last year again it was transferred to Celartem Technology, the parent company of Lizard Tech. This has been developed by AT&T and later the commercial rights have been transferred to lizard tech. I don't know why they have used the same name, but DjVu is a file format similar to PDF, which is significantly small in size. There could be several religious interpretations on this, but as I know there is no accepted scientific explanation on this yet. This is used to explain the weird feeling that most of us have experienced, where we come across a new situation or a person and we feel like it has happened before, although we cannot recall the exact situation. Have you heard of “Deja vu”.? As i understood in French this means something like “familiar” or “already experienced”.
