DjVu is a format developed internally at AT&T that is both smaller and better in quality than PDF format. According to Wikipedia, this format has been designed primarily to store scanned documents, especially those containing a combination of text, line drawings, and photographs.

Conversion will take some time, depending on the length of file and the settings you have selected. You don’t need to select any Output destination, since all converted files be will saved in the same location where the original Pdf file is located.

DJVU files are much quicker to open and browse through than PDFs but unfortunately they are significantly larger.
In my experience, DjVu files are significantly smaller than PDF files.
Here’s a conversion I did that is one tenth the size. You can save a bunch of disk space that way!

Err, DjVu isn’t a new format from Adobe, it’s been around since the 90’s and is created by some guys at AT&T. Adobe isn’t involved in this format in any way. Moreover, Abobe Reader isn’t capable of opening DjVu files, you’ll need a special viewer/browser plugin for the format.
Hey sorry for the typo. I got confused between Adobe and AT&T, that’s why I wrote the name by mistake. And yes it is not a new format, but most people don’t know about it yet.
