Open Source Document Management System | OpenKM

Hey guys,

Is there any plays to incorporate DJVU previewing into OpenKM? Quite a lot of the files I'm working with are in DJVU format and I'd like to be able to search/preview them in OpenKM.

Thanks.

Could you provide to us some url about djvu ( file format, if you know there's some previewer, etc... ) and I'll take a look on it, sincerally is first time I read about it.

I have found a utility to make the conversion to PDF, so preview is possible: djvu2pdf.

Sorry, been away for work.

From Wikipedia: "DjVu (pronounced like déjà vu) is a computer file format designed primarily to store scanned documents, especially those containing a combination of text, line drawings, and photographs. It uses technologies such as image layer separation of text and background/images, progressive loading, arithmetic coding, and lossy compression for bitonal (monochrome) images. This allows for high-quality, readable images to be stored in a minimum of space, so that they can be made available on the web.

DjVu has been promoted as an alternative to PDF,[3] promising smaller files than PDF for most scanned documents. The DjVu developers report[4] that color magazine pages compress to 40–70 kB, black and white technical papers compress to 15–40 kB, and ancient manuscripts compress to around 100 kB; a satisfactory JPEG image typically requires 500 kB. Like PDF, DjVu can contain an OCR text layer, making it easy to perform copy and paste and text search operations.

Free browser plug-ins and desktop viewers from different developers are available from the djvu.org website. DjVu is supported by a number of multi-format document viewers and e-book reader software on Linux (Okular, Evince), Android (VuDroid), and iPhone/iPad (Stanza)."

It would be good to have a converter included in OpenKM as a fair few of my documents are in the DjVu format.

Thanks Alexires, seems pavila knows it and there's some conversor, we've added in our roadmap.
