BUGS

       Using a web-based encoder server is a stop-gap measure until better encoders enjoy wide free distribution.

       There  is  a  security issue in operating on documents not intended for widespread distribution, which could be partially although not com-
       pletely ameliorated by using a secure web connection.

SEE ALSO

       The entire djvu suite, eg djvu(1), djview(1), and djvuserver(1).
