Perhaps all from you already know this, but I only recently discovered that
pdf2djvu converts a *searchable pdf* into a *searchable djvu* (t.i. uploads
anything from pdf to djvu, active links and metadata too) and I like to
share my "discover". Conversion is extremely simple. Unluckily, we use only
a little bit of djvu text data - usually only the whole, unmapped text, the
only exception being hOCR tool by Phe, that outputs mapped text.
