So, a djvu document would be less sophisticated. It might not matter for many cases, and one could probably make a backend to produce something reasonable but it's not worth the trouble I fear. As mentioned, it's probably easier to convert the pdf into a djvu with a postprocessor.

Understood. Thanks.
btw, it would be interesting to have a good open source jbig2 producer (as that is natively supported in pdf) and it's a pretty efficient compression (close to djvu) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
