NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The output file name is either given by argument outputfile or generated by replacing the input file name suffixes by the DjVu suffix (.djvu).

PREREQUISITES

OPTIONS

--verbose, -v

Displays more informational messages while converting the file.

--quiet, -q

Do not display informational messages while converting the file.

--dpi=resolution

Specify the desired resolution to resolution dots per inch. The default is 300 dpi.

--psrotate=angle

Rotate the PostScript file by angle degrees clockwise. Only the values 0, 90, 180, and 270 are supported. This option only applies to PostScript files. PDF files are always converted according to their native orientation.

--epsf=disposition

Specify how to handle Encapsulated PostScript files. Argument disposition can take the values crop, fit, and ignore. The default disposition crop creates a DjVu file whose size matches the bounding box of the Encapsulated PostScript file. Value fit rescales the graphics to the default page size. Value ignore disables all Encapsulated PostScript specific code. This option requires Ghostscript 7.07 or better.

--exact-color

Enables a more accurate rendering of the colors. This option requires GhostScript 6.52 or better.

--threshold=thres

Specify a threshold for the foreground/background separation code. Acceptable values of thres range from 0 to 100. Larger values place more information into the foreground layer. The default threshold value is 80.

--bg-subsample=sub

Specify the background subsampling ratio. Argument sub must be an integer between 1 and 6. The default value is 3.

--bg-slices=n+...+n

Specify the encoding quality of the background layer. The syntax for the argument is similar to that described for the -slice option of command c44. The default is 72+11+10+10.

--fg-colors=ncolors

Specify the maximum number of distinct colors in the foreground layer. Argument ncolors can take integer values between 1 and 4000. The default value is 256.

--fg-image-colors=ncolors

Specify the maximum number of distinct colors in an image for considering encoding it into the foreground layer. Argument ncolors can take integer values between 1 and 4000. The default value is 256.

--words

Extract the text from the PostScript code and incorporates this information into the DjVu file. This option records the location of every word.

--lines

Extract the text from the PostScript code and incorporates this information into the DjVu file. This option saves a few bytes by only recording the location of each line.

--gsarg=arg1[,arg2,...,argN]

Insert extra arguments on the GhostScript command line.

--cseparg=arg1[,arg2,...,argN]

Insert extra arguments on the command line of program csepdjvu or msepdjvu.

--poppler=keywords

This option causes djvudigital to extract additional information from PDF files using the tool pdftotext that comes bundled with the Poppler library. Selected information is then added to the djvu file as a postprocessing step. This option is ignored when the input file is not a PDF file. Argument keywords is a comma separated list of keywords. When this list contains keyword meta, the metadata extracted by pdftotext is inserted into the djvu file. When this list contains keyword text, the textual information extracted by pdftotext is inserted into the djvu file, possibly replacing the information gathered using the options --words or --lines. This is useful for instance when a scanned PDF file contains a hidden text layer that is not recognized by Ghostscript and therefore not passed to the djvudigital backend.

--sepfile

Produces a separated data file instead of a DjVu file. Program csepdjvu can then convert the separated data file into a DjVu file.

--check

Display the names of the two auxiliary programs found by djvudigital, namely a suitable ghostscript interpreter and a suitable backend encoder. See the next two section for details.

--dryrun

Simply display the ghostscript command line generated by djvudigital without running it. No output file is produced

--help

Display the manual page for djvudigital.

GHOSTSCRIPT ISSUES

Before processing the input file, program djvudigital searches a Ghostscript executable providing the djvusep driver. The search starts with the file specified by the environment variable GSDJVU and continues with command line executables named gs and gsdjvu.

The DjVuLibre source code contains instruction to compile such a GhostScript executable. More information can be obtained from http://djvu.sourceforge.net/gsdjvu.html.
