This is the example (source) page:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry--I missed this post. The problem is that your document size (4.5 x 7 inches) combined with k2pdfopt's default output resolution (167 dpi) results in no wrapping being required. So you have two options if you want wrapped text: (1) increase the output dpi (will make everything larger) to something like 200, or (2) use -wrap+, which will un-wrap the narrow column on the right so that all the text fits the width of your reader screen. You also should use -m 0 to avoid having any clipping since your viewable region runs right to the edge of the page. Finally, for cases like this I like to use -sm so that I can verify how k2pdfopt is interpreting the page layout. Final commands, then:

k2pdfopt -m 0 -sm -fc- -odpi 200 page17.pdf

or

k2pdfopt -m 0 -sm -fc- -wrap+ page17.pdf

(you can also combine -odpi 200 and -wrap+).
