Jens--Hello, and thank you! Yes, I am still finding time to tinker with it, much to my wife's chagrin. Drop me a line anytime. You have my e-mail.

Conversion Problem
Hello, Willus,
I have a problem with the conversion with a pdf file. There are both some large gaps at the and of the page, and top and bottom lines half deleted. I have the latest version of your software, win 7, 32 bit and the following options: -dev kpw -mode fw -ls- I enclose sample files before and after conversion. Thank you in advance. Angelos |

-gtr 0.1 That will lower the threshold for breaking lines apart which will allow for better selection of page breaks. The lines in your document are quite close together, plus you are squeezing them into a 3-inch wide screen. That is what is causing the issue. I will look into making this process more robust so it doesn't need such fine tweaking. |

Hi! It's me again! I would really like to thank you for all your work! It's amazing! Can you help me to solve this problem: I'm trying to scan one book, but the result that I get is really unsatisfying. See for yourself:
[Image violates guidelines for size - MODERATOR] As you can see, the picture is not cropped and I have an "empty space" on the left and on the bottom side. I've already tried option "Automatically crop scanned documents" in my scanner's software (in Advanced Document Settings), but the result was not satisfying too. See here: [Image violates guidelines for size - MODERATOR] The next thing that I tried was 'Deskewing' the document with Adobe Acrobat Pro, but it didn't work as well. I would really like to know how to solve this problem. I know there's always option to crop page by page in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but this is really huge book and it would take a lot of time and efforts. Then I remembered your "K2pdfopt" software. I knew there was an option of auto-straightening, but it didn't work too... Can you tell me how to solve this problem... Just to know, I don't want to optimize this document for any ebook reader. I just want to optimize IT. Thanks in advance! Here you can download this problematic pdf: https://mega.co.nz/#!CEIQQLxQ!9tyO0n...70mvgUg95adEt4 Last edited by Dr. Drib; 06-22-2015 at 02:17 PM. |

-cbox3-o .7,.6,5.6,8.3 -cbox1,2-e 2.3,.5,6,8.5 This crops pages 3 and 5 with one crop box and pages 1, 2, 4, and 6 with another crop box. The other options you then select with k2pdfopt (e.g. -mode fitwidth) will then apply to those cropped regions. See the -cbox option on my command-line usage page. |

Thank you so much guys!!! This was really helpful. I've tried all 3 programs - Briss, Pdfscissors and K2pdfopt, but does this mean that I need to use different crop tools on each page? As I understood I need to crop page by page and I was wondering if I could crop this document with some software that can do "auto-cropping"... Is there such a thing? Of course, this document is not the whole book. This book contains over 350 pages, so it is really difficult for me to crop each page separately... Is there any way to solve this problem? As I understand, even in K2pdfopt I need to specify all parameters for each page... Am I right?

optimized PDF to MOBI conversion
Hi,
Firstly, I create an optimized PDF file with k2pdfopt. Then, I convert that file to MOBI to use Vocabulary Builder while reading it. But after conversion, the text in the PDF is not selectable anymore. Is there a way to overcome this issue? Thank you. |

@quanom -- Welcome to MR forums. Thank you for posting. The default k2pdfopt conversion should maintain the selectable text in the PDF document if it was selectable to begin with. Can you post a link to the source PDF file you are converting (or a few pages of it, at least)? Or you can send me a private message and I'll tell you how to e-mail it to me so I can investigate.

the same goes for k2pdfopt too, you just copy/paste those commands -cbox3-o .7,.6,5.6,8.3 -cbox1,2-e 2.3,.5,6,8.5 into Additional options box, choose fitwidth mode(under Conversion Mode) and the whole book will be cropped for you at once. Instructions for Briss: Start the Briss app by double-clicking its exe file. Load 801010.pdf file (command under file menu) entering number one (1) at the opened window, for the cover to be excluded from merging (takes about 5-10 seconds for that 801010.pdf file depending on your computer speed). Draw(adjust) the blue rectangles over those three piles as close to the text as you wish, but there is no need to get too close to the text proper because k2pdfopt will do that later automatically. You can then preview or just crop the file with commands under Action menu (takes 2-5 seconds for that 801010.pdf file depending on your computer speed).

@Markom: Thank you so much! I'm going to try this as soon as I scan the whole book!

-cbox3-o .7,.6,5.6,8.3 -cbox1,2-e 2.3,.5,6,8.5 ? How did you calculated crop boxes, or margins for these 6 pages? Can you teach me how to do it myself? Also, I would like to learn how to write this -cbox command from above. Can you explain it, pls? Last edited by danilo93; 03-12-2014 at 03:18 AM. |
