Re: edit djvu without remaking the whole file

Actually it is possible, though the compression will usually suffer. The software I use consist of the command line tools from "djvutools". On Debian Linux the package is called "djvulibre-bin". These tools exist in all operation systems as far as I know. The toolchain consist of...

Re: Laser Scan Methods

I've no deep knowledge in optics, but I've heard about polarization filters. Is it possible to use polarization filters for the light bulbs and others with 90 degree rotation for the lasers.

Re: ScanTailor_multi_core -- speed up processing

I also have a solution to offer under linux in the same spirit as jbaiter's solution above if a multicore capable scantailor is not available. You split the scantailor projectfile book.Scantailor into multiple sub projectfiles. Then You spawn several scantailor-cli processes and all images are creat...

If You have a colored text (few colors, no rectangles, just like the final image of the last post), then You can encode it by cpaldjvu : cpaldjvu -dpi 100 example.ppm example_dummy.djvu Then You ...

To add color to this DJVU-document, load the image ex...

Re: Howto manually add colored text to DJVU files
