In modern laptops running the Windows 8.1 operating system, many files are opened using standard system tools. However, some formats remain beyond the capabilities of standard applications. One of them is DjVu - a very common format for magazines and books. In this article we will tell you how and how to open djvu if your laptop is equipped with Windows 8.1.
Instructions
Step 1
The name of the DjVu format is read as "deja vu". That is, "already seen once." The first publication of his claims was carried out in 1988. This is a typical image storage format that is lossy, but provides a more compact storage capacity than a standard scan.
That is why DjVu was chosen by lovers of scanning magazines, manuscripts and newspapers. All pictures, text and all page design are saved, which is unattainable for other book format FB2. In this format, text and pictures can also be saved, but the page design will be lost. The last known version of the DjVu format was published on July 27, 2006. Since then, no fundamental changes have been observed.
Full support for the DjVu format requires the application to be able to read the interactive table of contents and active links embedded in the file for easy navigation through the DjVu magazine.
Step 2
For the modern Windows 8.1 interface, the most popular program that can read DjVu is DjVu Viewer. You can download it through the "Application Store".
There you will also find the paid application DjVu for Windows, which can also use all the advantages of a modern interface, including a touch screen.
Step 3
However, for owners of laptops and computers with the Windows 8.1 operating system, it makes no sense to focus only on applications for the modern interface. Many, if not all, desktop programs are quite functional in the new version of the OS. This means that you have at your disposal one of the best DjVu "readers" - WinDjVu. This is a free program that can not only open and read DjVu files, but also print them in XPS format (select XPS when printing), which you can then easily open even with standard Windows tools.
