Palm Database
The generic database container for Palm OS.
PDB (Palm Database) is the standard file format for all data on Palm OS devices, from address books to e-books. In the context of images, a PDB file acts as a container for 'Palm Pixmap' images, typically storing them as a series of records. It was the only way to get data onto a Palm pilot.
A PDB file consists of a header (name, attributes, creation time) and a list of records. For images, these records contain the bitmap data (often compressed with RLE/PackBits). ImageMagick treats PDB files as a multi-image sequence if multiple bitmaps are stored in the records. The format is strictly structured to map directly to the device's RAM storage model.
Created by Palm Computing in 1996. It was designed to facilitate 'HotSync' between the handheld's RAM and the desktop PC. It became ubiquitous in the early 2000s PDA era.
JPEG 2000 Compound Image
JPEG 2000 for multi-layer documents.
JPM (JPEG 2000 Part 6) is a compound image file format. It is designed for storing document images that contain a mix of text and graphics, using a Mixed Raster Content (MRC) model. It allows for different compression methods to be applied to different 'layers' of the image (e.g., sharp edges for text, smooth gradients for photos).
JPM splits an image into multiple layers (e.g., background, foreground mask, foreground color). Each layer can be compressed differently (e.g., JBIG2 for text mask, JPEG 2000 for background photos), optimizing both quality and file size for scanned documents. This is significantly more efficient than compressing an entire scanned page as a single JPEG 2000 image.
Part of the JPEG 2000 standard (ISO/IEC 15444-6), specifically targeting the document archival market.
