Other k2pdfopt options

Keep in mind another potentially useful item: k2pdfopt (http://www.willus.com/k2pdfopt).
Output is similar to pdflrf but (IMHO) usable only for two-three column articles. Those articles look very good, particularly IEEE articles. k2pdfopt automatically cuts them between columns and create single column output. As to other common one-column books, k2pdfopt cannot create fully justified output (lines are centered at best) and resulting text looks ugly.
Sure, as tomsem said, after graphic conversion we lose many good properties of standard text pdf but at least we acquire good reading material
K2pdfopt can do the same thing as pdflrf (as discussed in your multiple steps of instructions above), but in a much more automated fashion. Use command-line options: -ls -col 1 -wrap-
This will put the output in landscape mode (-ls), prevent column splitting (-col 1), and prevent line splitting/word wrapping (-wrap-).
(You can also do this through the interactive menu.)
As for text justification, see this page.
Lastly, k2pdfopt also converts djvu, like pdflrf.
