When you encode a multiple-page document, a message appears asking if you want to save the file in a bundled or indirect format. The type you choose depends on how you want to use the file.
A bundled DjVu document is a single DjVu file that contains several pages, each of which displays a separate image. DjVu Solo uses the name of the first page as the file name. Use the bundled format when you want to distribute files through e-mail or archive images.
If you delete a bundled DjVu file, you delete the images within it. If you combined several image files and saved them as a new bundled DjVu file, you will still have the original files. However, images you scanned directly into the bundled DjVu file will be lost. Before you delete a bundled file, copy any scanned images you want to keep into new single- or multiple-page DjVu files.
An indirect DjVu document consists of a directory.djvu file that “links” individual DjVu files. Each page of the indirect document is a separate DjVu file, and the directory file contains a reference to each of these files. Because the images are not combined in a single file, you can delete the directory file without deleting the linked DjVu files. You can also open each of the DjVu files independently of the directory file.
Use indirect DjVu documents to publish images on the Web, so that users can view the directory.djvu file and select only the images they want to download.
NOTE You can rename the directory.djvu file when you save the indirect document.
