Adobe Acrobat / pdf and DJVU services

Many companies now wish to publish their documentation to the web, intranet or on CD-ROM to their clients.

Both Adobe Acrobat PDF and HTML format files are widely used to do this but they require special processing to form compact and well structured files which retain their original formatting.

Adobe recognised this formatting problem with the introduction of their Acrobat/Exchange/Capture series of products which enabled scanned documents to be made available from web pages but still keep a compact and well formatted structure. The file format is known as Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format.

The Adobe Acrobat Reader is free and can be downloaded from their web site.
These factors make PDF files the ideal format for companies which need to distribute complex formatted files over the Internet but do not want to go to the expense of coding everything in HTML format.

HTML format files tend to be much more compact but are more expensive/laborious to convert correctly and cannot have the same freedom of layout as a PDF file.

Besides Adobes PDF formats we can also convert to SGML and TeX format documents.

DCS can also convert files into the new extremly compact DJVU format from Lizardtech. This compression format typically cuts file sizes by at least half over similar PDF format files
