Thanks in advance.

Angelos--How exactly were you hoping to improve the conversions? It looks like your document is just wide enough that by default k2pdfopt re-flows it, but that's probably not what you want(?). If you don't need re-flow, and if the line spacing is okay as-is, then I recommend using the "fitwidth" mode:
k2pdfopt -mode fw -ls- nine.pdf
(The
-ls- will keep it in portrait mode.) This keeps the document in native mode with scaleable fonts and searchable / highlight-able text.
If you want to spread out the lines a little, you can increase the line spacing but keep re-flow off:
k2pdfopt -vls 1.2 -wrap- nine.pdf
If you want full blown text wrapping, that's mostly what you were getting with your second conversion, where you correctly figured out that k2pdfopt seems to need a little help breaking words apart and used a smaller-than-default value for
-gtw, except I'd use
-gtw 0.2:
k2pdfopt -vls 1.15 -gtw 0.2 nine.pdf
The value of 0.02 is too small and seems to have caused some strange behavior which I'll have to investigate. The
-vls 1.15 is only necessary if you want to spread out the line spacing compared to the original document. Let me know if these help or if there are other ways you were hoping to improve the conversion.
