Does someone know how to convert from djvu format to PDF ?

Someone told me to convert to PDF using the Print option from
Macdjview but this option is not active (or not available).

Txs,

D.

Go to LizardTech.com for the DJVUPlugin Universal in OS X.

http://www.lizardtech.com:

http://www.lizardtech.com/download/dl_download.php?detail=doc_djvu_plugin&platform=macx

In Preferences set the menu to always be visible and then when you load a document, select the Print Icon and pick the desired printer you have configured. Once Print Panel is loaded, select SAVE AS->PDF.

I have the universal version but there isn't any Preference option available.
Page Setup is also inactive.

Any ideas ?
 
at the bottom there are icons, click on the printer icon and then follow the directions as listed before

hope that helps
 
bitmap pdf

unfortunatly - it creates a bitmap pdf - the text is not editable any longer. A 1MB djvu file converts to a 60MB bitmap pdf... not very usable

anybody know of another way to convert it without sacrificing the text?
 
I'm still straggling to make this work and to no avail. Pressing the print button at the lower left corner gives just this. What am I doing wrong? Where is the option to print it as a pdf?

Thanks in advance.

Okay so the program you want is djview. It works in leopard and it allows you to export djvu files to pdf: http://djvu.sourceforge.net/ Does anyone know if djvu will ever be natively supported with quick look and preview? Part of me wants to convert my djvu files to pdf but it significantly increases the size (1.5mb to 9 mb)

Slightly off topic -- has anyone encountered problems with DJVu plugin host version 6.0 (i.e., it won't open djvu files) following the 10.4.11 upgrade?

Yep, thanks to the "upgrade" to Safari 3.0, my djvu files now show up as blanks.

So to read them, one has to use one of the alternative djvu readers (you'll find them on macupdate.com).

Lizardtech has released some beta to deal with this problem, but I have not bothered to install it because, among other things, it lacks local file access.

The puzzle--and it's really a hard puzzle--is why something that used to work more or less fine got broken this badly.

So for the moment, I'm keeping Tiger at 1.4.10, and for this reason (and others as well) Leopard is not yet installed on my Apples.
 
I know this is a whole 3 years late but I really struggled to convert djVu to PDF (WHAT an inconvenient software, god!) because of a lack of working information- and the LizardTech plug-in links on this forum had expired.

SO
The first thing to do would be download djview-4.5-universal (I'm not sure if this functions with other NEWER versions of djview) available here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/djvu/files/

Once using this version of djView everything is a lot simpler, including printing. To save to PDF simply select File/Export As.

Wow thank you spokeinthewheel !! i've been looking for this for days and days ! Even if it's 3 years late it's still helpful ;-)

Cheers

What a pity lizardtech stopped supporting MAC OSX now. We can only try old version of viewer and work out any problem by ourselves, which is too hard.
I have a djvu file than can only be viewed in MacDjViwe, which doesn't have
print feature. While trying this djview 4.5, I get error message everytime I turn a page. Although the program still display all pages, printing generates error.
Does anyone know other viewer so I can give my file another try?
 
That's cool, thank you... but still no OCR support! Any text information contained in the DjVu file is lost after the conversion to PDF.

Does anybody knows a workaround for this?

Cheers,

Guido
