DjVu Profiles

Profiles are sets of commonly used options that optimize an image’s visual quality, file size, encoding speed, and OCR reliability. The options within each profile have been carefully pre-selected and set to meet the encoding requirements of a specific type of image. For example, a color catalog page that is scanned at 300 dpi requires a different encoding process than a bitonal hand drawing that is scanned at 200 dpi. Instead of specifying all the options on the command-line, you can specify just the profile name that contains all the options.

The default profile for documenttodjvu is scan300.
