i kicked off my pc to do this conversion yesterday arvo and it is still going


april 1984 i scanned in pdf original was 617 meg
djvu at 400 dpi is 110.6 meg no blurrynes and looks great

we have a winner folks.

i have learnt a lot about scanning books in the past 5 months


1.scan at 300 dpi full colour and start with a awesome looking original
2.save every 10 or 15 pages in pdf to the hdd
3. once all the tiny parts are saved in pdf join together in a matter of seconds with pdftk
4. convert to djvu at 400 dpi
5. smile and admire the work!


i wont upoad 1984 yet as the pc is still running to get it done. 
im really impressed. forget 100 dpi pdf.they are horrid by comparison.
