How to solve “djvu decoder cannot decode djvu files with version >=25” DJVU files opening error

Saturday, February 9th, 2013

If you happen to be running DJVU Solo version 3.1 and you have some documents saved with DJVU Mozilla Firefox browser plugin you might end up with an error:

"djvu decoder cannot decode djvu files with version >=25"
 

The error is well known and described on djvu solo's website. Though the reason is explained and a work around in future files downloaded via the DJVU browser plugin is suggested. The page doesn't suggest a way on how to open already downloaded .djvu files failing to via DJVU Solo.

Thanksfully there is a fix, get away from DJVU Solo and start using STDUViewer – 🙂

Here is description of STDUViewer taken from their website:
