DjVu to PDF: the scanning format that lost
DjVu was built for scanned documents and is genuinely good at it, it separates each page into a sharp bilevel text layer and a lower-resolution background, which is how it beat PDF on size for scanned books. It lost on support. Converting re-encodes those layers into PDF, which usually produces a noticeably larger file for the same pages.
Convert because almost nothing opens DjVu now, no browser, no phone, no standard reader. Accept the size increase as the cost of a file that will still open in a decade.
