Description: DjVu shared files
 DjVu is a web-centric format and software platform for distributing documents
 and images.  DjVu content downloads faster, displays and renders faster, looks
 nicer on a screen, and consume less client resources than competing formats.
 DjVu was originally developed at AT&T Labs-Research by Leon Bottou, Yann
 LeCun, Patrick Haffner, and many others.  In March 2000, AT&T sold DjVu to
 LizardTech Inc. who now distributes Windows/Mac plug-ins, and commercial
 encoders (mostly on Windows)
 
 In an effort to promote DjVu as a Web standard, the LizardTech management was
 enlightened enough to release the reference implementation of DjVu under the
 GNU GPL in October 2000.  DjVuLibre (which means free DjVu), is an enhanced
 version of that code maintained by the original inventors of DjVu. It is
 compatible with version 3.5 of the LizardTech DjVu software suite.
 
 DjVulibre-3.5 contains:
 - a standalone DjVu viewer based on the Qt library.
 - A browser plugin that works with most Unix browsers.
 - A full-fledged wavelet-based compressor for pictures.
 - A simple compressor for bitonal (black and white) scanned pages.
 - A compressor for palettized images (a la GIF/PNG).
 - A set of utilities to manipulate and assemble DjVu images and documents.
 - A set of decoders to convert DjVu to a number of other formats.
 - An up-to-date version of the C++ DjVu Reference Library.

Ваш приятель в курсе? ;)

PS Жду-недождусь GSDjVu, тогда вообще шоколадно будет - pdf можно будет
выкинуть на свалку истории.
