?

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?
@Danilo93 -- As I said in an earlier post, the -cbox option is fully explained on my command-line options page, but I'll give some examples below. I figured out the crop dimensions for your file using some of my own tools, but you could fairly easily figure it out by adding -mode crop to the "Additional Options" box and then iteratively trying different values for the crop box and clicking the Preview button after each change. (The -mode crop will cause the preview to show you the exact cropped regions). Not nearly as easy as Briss, but that's as good as I can offer.

The syntax of -cbox is -cbox<pages> <top>,<left>,<width>,<height>

So, for example,

-cbox2-10e 3,4,5,7

... will apply the crop box to pages 2 through 10 on even pages only (the 'e' means even pages only), and the crop box will start 3 inches from the left side of the source page, 4 inches from the top of the source page, and be 5 inches wide x 7 inches high. If you prefer to use fractions of the source page size, you can put an 's' after each dimension, e.g.

-cbox 0.1s,0.12s,0.8s,0.75s

... will apply a crop box that starts 10% of the source page width from the left side of each source page, 12% of the source page height from the top of the source page, and the width will be 80% of the source page width and the height will be 75% of the source page height. Because no pages were explicitly set for this crop box, it will apply to all pages.

Be careful that you don't put any spaces except just the one between the page range and the comma-delimited dimensions.

I would usually open pdf in Foxit or some other pdf reader with rulers
shown or using distance tool, so that you can easilly and quickly find needed coordinates.

Also you see exact pdf size in opened pdf by pressing ctrl+D or in properties(file menu).

Yes, I know this. Thank you, anyway!
I have another question... Sometimes I get 2 pages with different size. Like in this picture:

[Image violates guidelines for size - MODERATOR]

The first page is 8.10 x 10.72 in, and the second page is 7.65 x 10.11 in. I want to adjust 1st and 2nd page. I want 1st page to have the same size as 2nd one (7.65 x 10.11 in). How can I do this? Here is the pdf file I used...

@Danilo93 -- If you want to use k2pdfopt and do no other processing other than making the pages the same size:

k2pdfopt -mode crop -cbox1 0,0,7.65,10.11 -cbox2- 0,0 gordana.pdf

The -cbox1 will crop the first page differently than the rest (-cbox2-), which won't be cropped.

Hello everyone, for those of you who use Arch Linux, I just wanted to let you know that I submitted k2pdfopt to the AUR. You can find it at:

This is excellent work. @facut has been working with me to get k2pdfopt to compile with all of the supported libraries, which is not trivial. He is the only user I know besides myself to have accomplished that. He also uncovered a bug in the code which was causing a segfault--this will be fixed in the next release. Thank you, @facut.

k2pdfopt v2.15 released

This is a bug fix version which primarily fixes some memory leaks. See the web site for details.

@hatde130113 -- Welcome to MR forums. From the k2pdfopt home page, click on "Mac Install", left column, at the bottom.

Hello,

I hope I am on the correct thread.

thank you for this great app.

I am wondering if I can use it for another thing. Sometimes I want to print a pdf article from my computer on letter paper size. Can I use k2pdfopt to rearrange the text in a more paper-friendly matter? (maybe reducing margins and fitting more text on each page, or changing the 2 column format to 1 column). I have been trying but so far I haven't figure it out.

thank you

@latrodectus17 -- Welcome to MobileRead forums. It is likely that k2pdfopt can do something like what you want. Can you either post an example of your source PDF file or send me a private message if you don't want to post it to this thread? I'll have a look and recommend some settings.
