DJVU is a wavelet decomposition scheme so as zoom in is done, the resolution stays the same. Quite different from adobe. Unfortunately for Lizardtech, DJVU never quite caught on. Don paul swed DJVU does work well but is quite uncommon. Every PC shipped these days seems to have adobe on it.

The best thing you can do after you scan a manual is run it through OCR. If you have Acrobat then you have one of the best OCR systems around. This dramatically improves the readabilty and crispness of the text and at the same time makes the document much smaller and also it makes it searchable.

You obviously haven't come across all of the Adobe acrobat OCR'd manuals on logsa. They are amazingly unusable. The OCR program gets way off kilter, and makes a mess of large sections of the manuals... and unfortunately, nobody has the resources to proofread the results. Don't waste your time

Ask Dave at ArtekMedia. His manuals have indices in the .pdfs. They might be automatically done, which implies OCR. FWIW, -John You obviously haven't come across all of the Adobe acrobat OCR'd manuals on logsa. They are amazingly unusable. The OCR program gets way off
