Click for a tour of the DjVu plug-in
The plug-in install will work best if you download the install files and run them locally rather than selecting the auto-install option. There are also desktop viewers that run without an install routine. The advantage of DjVu compression format is that it produces page-images of the publications, as they were originally printed, with a small sizeof file to be easily and quickly viewed via the Internet. The files are fully searchable, zoomable, images can be rotated, selected areas can be printed and thumbnails can be displayed. You can also search and read The Ukrainian Weekly in PDF format (click the icon on the top right corner of the home page). Unlike DjVu, all of the pages of an issue will download, not just the pages you wish to see. Though PDF still provides more convenient way for search. |
