DJVU at a glance
DJVU
Convert to DjVu when the source is a scanned document set and the goal is a compact, page-faithful file for archival reading or repository distribution.
It is a good target for books, historical periodicals, manuals, and other materials that are fundamentally page images rather than editable text documents.
If broad end-user compatibility is the priority, PDF is usually the easier delivery format.
RST at a glance
RST
Convert to RST when the content is headed into Sphinx or another documentation system that benefits from directive-rich plain text.
It is well suited to API docs, developer manuals, internal technical references, and documentation that needs cross-references, notes, code blocks, and publish-time transformations.
Use it when documentation semantics are more important than office-style page layout.
