Not sure how widely DjVu is used, it's certainly an interesting and fitting format for OCR. Integration would not be a huge effort but I hesitate to do it without a use case and test data, since creating a presentation-level container format is more involved and subjective than converting between XML representations. \r\n\r\nIf we were to develop conversions like this, I would prioritize PDF, not for being the better but the more widely used format."}}
