The objective is to convert these raster-image scans into a digital document format that is can be effectively used on the web.</div> <bR> <div> We converted to both PDF and DjVu formats. For PDF, we used the new JPEG2000 compression from Adobe and from Algo Vision LuraTech. We also created MRC-PDF (Mixed Raster Content PDF) using the new "Adaptive" segmenter in Acrobat 6, and using the LuraDocument.jpm segmenter in the brand-new LuraDocument.jpm PDF Compressor product.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>The results (ordered by size from largest to smallest)</B></div> <div> <I>Acrobat 6.0 viewer or above required for viewing these PDF files</I></div> <div> <I>DjVu Web Browser plug-in required for viewing these DjVu files</I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="554" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFCC HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="310"><div> <B>Filename </B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFCC><NOBR><div> <B>Compression Type</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFCC><NOBR><div> <B>Size (MB)</B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF HEIGHT= 17 WIDTH="310"><div>   <A HREF="http://www.searchpdf.com/studies/latin/latin_acrobat_jpeg.pdf" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.searchpdf.com/studies/latin/l"><U>latin_acrobat_jpeg.pdf</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF WIDTH="144"><div> JPEG</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#EEEEEE><NOBR><div> <A HREF="http://www.searchpdf.com/studies/latin/latin_acrobat_jpeg.pdf" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.searchpdf.com/studies/latin/l"><U>181 MB</U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF HEIGHT= 16 ><NOBR><div>   <A HREF="http://www.searchpdf.com/studies/latin/latin_acrobat_jpeg2000_medium.pdf" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.searchpdf.com/studies/latin/l"><U>latin_acrobat_jpeg2000_medium.pdf</U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF><NOBR><div> JPEG2000 -
