DJVU

DjVu is a new compression scheme developed by AT & T Research labs. It is designed specifically for encoding textual documents using wavelet technology. This provides high compression ratios with smaller loss of detail than the equivalent sized jpeg or pdf file.

DjVu also provides a system for linking document pages together allowing indivudual pages to be viewed without the need to download the whole document (unlike the pdf format), so viewing documents online is much faster.

The viewer is provided as a web browser plugin by LizardTech. The plugin can be downloaded from here.

Currently we don't support searching the text contained within the DjVu documents. We hope to be able to add this feature soon.

Any problems with the plugin should be directed to LizardTech.
