[Coco] [Color Computer] .djvu vs .pdf: example files posted

[Stephen Blunt]

Interestingly enough... When I click on the PDF link it automatically opens
in my browser. I then "save as copy". Reviewing the 2 files there is little
difference - I find that the PDF has more noise around the text.

Regarding the file sizes - having done a "save as copy" from my browser - the
PDF is slightly smaller then the djvu file (1527Kb vs 1610Kb)

I'll be happy to buy the DVD no matter the format.

Ben,

I think I know what you are asking in regards to "how does the .djvu text
render"...you must only be seeing the first page of the file!  Both test2
files have the same 10 pages so that you can compare apples to apples...so to
speak.  

Would you be willing to look again and tell me what in particular about the
.djvu file is not as good as the .pdf?  I find that the .djvu renders much
better on my system than the .pdf and I am curious as to why it is the
opposite on yours! 

Thanks!

Regards,
Michael Harwood

Personally, I prefer the pdf.  Test1 is too blocky for my taste. You can't
read the text on the coco monitor.  Test2.djvu is ok, but test2.pdf renders
very nicely on my screen, and the text is very legible.  What does the text
look like in djvu format?
