A convenient way to convert files from DjVu to PDF format while preserving the text layer

Containerized DjVu2PDF

A convenient way to convert files from DjVu to PDF format while preserving the text layer.

The solution utilizes djvu2pdf script, which, in turn, depends on other libraries like pdfbeads, djvulibre-bin, etc.

• All dependencies are packed into docker image (amd64).
• Some libraries are installed from source in order to utilize specific features: JBIG2 and JPEG 2000 (JP2) compression support.
• JP2 configuration in pdfbeads is modified.

Run details

• DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/r/ilyabystrov/djvu2pdf

docker run --rm -u $(id -u):$(id -g) -v $(pwd):/opt/work ilyabystrov/djvu2pdf filename.djvu filename.pdf

• --rm option - removing container after execution
• -u $(id -u):$(id -g) - run process with the same UID and GID
• -v $(pwd):/opt/work - (required) bind mounting of the current directory to the working directory in the container

Alias

Put the following line into ~/.bashrc or a similar configuration file:

alias djvu2pdf='docker run --rm -u $(id -u):$(id -g) -v $(pwd):/opt/work ilyabystrov/djvu2pdf'

It will allow using the short command

djvu2pdf filename.djvu filename.pdf
