**pdf2djvu** creates DjVu_ files from PDF files.

It's able to extract:

Prerequisites
=============

The following software is required to build pdf2djvu:

* C++11 compiler;
* GNU make;
* DjVuLibre_ (≥ 3.5.21), both the library and the command line tools;
* Poppler_ (≥ 0.24), including xpdf headers;
* pkg-config_.

The following software is recommended:

* gettext_ for internationalization;
* Exiv2_ and libuuid (part of util-linux or e2fsprogs)
  for correctly dealing with XMP metadata;
* GraphicsMagick_ for the ``--fg-colors=N`` option.

For the ``-j``/``--jobs`` option, the compiler must support OpenMP_.

To run the tests, the following software is needed:

* Python (2.6 or 2.7);
* nose_.

To correctly convert some PDF files (mostly in Chinese, Japanese or
Korean), the poppler-data_ package must be installed.
