k2pdfopt did a pretty good job but it's still more unusable than usable so I was wondering if you could offer me some advice. Here are the problems I encountered: 1) The search is absolutely broken, at least in Adobe Reader. I wasn't able to find any phrase correctly - at all times the wrong places are highlighted. Wondering how this would behave on the Kindle itself. No idea how to fix this either. 2) The images are broken down and misplaced. I have attached a screenshot to illustrate this. You'd think it happens because the image is close to the page border but this is not the case - virtually all images are broken down in the same way, regardless of their position. 3) Some formatting is handled badly, in particular columns - my second screenshots shows this effect. 4) The cover (the first page) is gone entirely. I can't figure out why would that be. I used the native pdf output and mostly kept everything default I think. Any clues? Thanks! |

Turns out this is an issue with k2pdfopt not correctly initializing languages that do not have the "CUBE/COMBINED" type of training files. This has been fixed for the next release.

i edited my previous post before i saw your answer
i did run meanwhile with -dev kpw -mode fw -gui+ -ls- -rt auto+ ,there is now a additional margin on the left side sometimes (the font size is ok here) with -mode fp the margin left and right is always changing from page to page (the font size is ok here too) and thanks for your help --edit nevermind i think the book is the problem, i will have to crop odd and even pages differently because of the chapter numbers which appear in the top left/right corners Last edited by taschenbillard; 07-19-2014 at 03:24 AM. |

i trimmed all 400 pages semi automatic per hand to remove the page numbers and the recurring chapter names and now it works perfect with
-dev kpw -mode fw -gui+ -ls- -rt auto+ everything in the the same font-size and layout is perfect and the margins are good; looks great, font is very crisp and good to read, actually no difference to mobi / epub format great tool also now from 2mb size to 1,5mb the toc seems no longer to work now, do you know a tool that can edit these?

i arrived now at editing a few pages with pagenumbers at the bottom manually and removing the rest with -mt 0.73 , good advice, this goes a bit faster
new toc with -toclist also works great Last edited by taschenbillard; 07-20-2014 at 09:18 AM. |

Hi, I wanted to drop an idea (not a feature request at all) to think over. Do you think it would be beneficial to have some "compression" features in k2pdfopt given the fact that Kindle has a limited space availability (no memory card of course)? Most programs for this purpose are commercial and - worse still - Windows only, but I've been using some of them and the results are quite good, sometimes the PDF size is reduced by about 30% without any noticeable quality loss. Don't know exactly how it works but I've read that what the program does is - among other things - eliminating duplicates in the document structure.
I don't know if this is feasible for you to work on so as I said I'm only dropping an idea. Thaks for the great soft - seriously the best swiss knife for pdfs on small screens. |

The other type of k2pdfopt output is one bitmap per page, and there isn't much point in compressing that further since the images are saved as either PNG or JPEG, both of which are already compressed. There are settings in k2pdfopt that affect the size of the images, though (resolution, number of bit planes, JPEG quality, etc.). See my k2pdfopt FAQ, third question. |
