I've been using pdflrf on and off during the last six months or so and I've found a couple of bugs. I wonder if there might be a workaround, especially for the first one.

1. I'm processing a pdf which is a two-column scan of a book (these two columns are in fact the left- and the right-hand pages of the original book). Somewhere in the middle of the file, there's a page with the left-hand column completely blank, since there wasn't anything on that page in the original book. Now, pdflrf crashes there. Just crashes and that's it, it doesn't say a word.

2. Again, processing a pdf which is in fact a scan, if I select "smart cut", I get pages on the Sony which miss some of the content present in the pdf, that is, they are partly blank and the text that should be there is just lost. It seems as if the program cut the page in its "smart" way (leaving some empty space at the bottom of the page) but then forgot to put that chunk of text on the next lrf page. Well, there is a nice way to avoid this problem and it is to disable the smart cut option. But in any case, a bug is a bug and I thought I should report it.
