See DjVu (http://www.djvuzone.org/). For scanned documents, the DjVu format gives excellent quality and size. I don't understand why so few people use it.
Probably because nobody heard of it... Till I read this mail, I didn't know of its existence.
SuSE 8.1 contains djvulibre-3.5.8-22.rpm.
But neither gimp nor xsane support it, and that is _very_ important. How do I create documente, easily? I read the "man djvu" page, which is very interesting, but it is far from clear - there are no examples. Do I have to create a jpeg image, and then convert? How? Will that be in "DjVuDocument" format? Ie, one DjVuBitonal layer, and one DjVuPhoto layer. How about multi page documents? And how about a howto? O:-? You see... it is not easy for newcomers to the format. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
