DJVU's Can contain a hidden text layer (which is used in the search feature). This layer can be extracted and used as the basis for any other conversion.

For example most of the DJVU files on The Internet Archive (TIA) contain such a layer and I have used them as a basis for FB2 books.

Of course the files the OP is working on may not have such a layer as the original text may not have been OCRd and associated with the image layer.
