This can also be done nicely with a single k2pdfopt command using the fitwidth option and judiciously cropping margins:
k2pdfopt -mode fitwidth -mt 0.9 -ml 2.42 ebook.pdf
The
-mt 0.9 and
-ml 2.42 options crop off the top 0.9 inches and left 2.42 inches from each source page (which drops off all the pink writing in the left margin). See the attached output (for source pages 20-30 only). You can add
-ls- to the command-line options to turn the pages to portrait mode (
-ls- = turn landscape off since it's turned on by
-mode fitwidth).
The resulting text will be searchable and highlightable without having to resort to OCR since
-mode fitwidth defaults to native PDF output, but text re-flow will not be possible. k2pdfopt also uses a little more intelligence about where to break the text for placement on each output page compared to the cropping algorithm demonstrated by Markom's screenshot, which cuts directly through lines of text (I was not able to download the .rar file--why not just post it as an attachment, Markom?).
