Document page rendering: how DJVU becomes BMP
A scanned-document format combining high-compression page imagery with optional ocr text and navigation is interpreted first, its visible page composed, and that appearance encoded as BMP. Anything living outside the painted page - Structure, formulas, controls, navigation - Has no equivalent feature in the image. The DjVu document reader enumerates bundled pages and their foreground, background, mask, OCR-text, outline, and annotation components independently. The BMP writer commits one rectangular pixel surface with explicit row order and color depth; it is aimed at simple bitmap interchange, not layered or multi-resolution artwork.
Starting model: a scanned-document format combining high-compression page imagery with optional OCR text and navigation. Rendered result: a broadly understood bitmap with straightforward pixel storage and little compression.

The delivery decision for this DJVU to BMP route
BMP belongs in workflows that need a visual page, not an editable DJVU object model.
What changes between the DJVU model and the BMP deliverable
- Because BMP is not inherently page-based, a multi-page DJVU may render as separate files or a representative page.
- Metadata handling differs between DJVU and BMP; do not assume every application-specific field carries across untouched.
How to confirm the converted BMP actually works
Record the DJVU evidence before conversion
Verify page count, order, image clarity, searchable text, bookmarks, annotations, and printing.
Test the BMP file in its receiving workflow
Confirm dimensions, color depth, orientation, and whether the receiving app reads transparency.
DJVU source facts versus BMP output requirements
What can fail when DJVU document format is interpreted
Raster conversion can discard hidden text and outlines, while document conversion may not preserve the original foreground/background layers.
What BMP raster image cannot safely promise
BMP derivatives are often much larger than web images and may encode alpha or row order differently between apps.
How the BMP writer handles this route
a broadly understood bitmap with straightforward pixel storage and little compression is what gets written, labeled as image/bmp. Whether that actually opens depends on the receiving application, not on the file extension.
