Ironically, because of poor software support and lack of knowledge about the format, most DjVus are slowly being converted to PDFs.

A court in my local government has been using a document imaging system since the early 2000's. It stored documents as DjVu files until a couple of years ago when the vendor re-encoded all the documents as PDF to comply with mandates for file storage format from my state Supreme Court. It made me really sad.

Djvu/djview it's libre software with open standards. The issue of "lack of knowledge" it's a bit bullshit.
