The only reason to convert DJVU to PDF, or vice versus, is because you only want to deal with one file format. Converting either of those to another file format is usually a waste of time and energy. Results are guaranteed to be failures.

I usually convert WARC, CBZ and CBR to PDF, because ebook readers usually suck at deciphering those file formats. OTOH, even as PDFs, ebook reader rendering is sub-optimal.
