@Smith-Corona -- Welcome to MR! Thank you for the post. At this stage, k2pdfopt will not automatically do what you want (I think), i.e. scan the whole document and determine a single set of crop margins that will best encompass every page so that each page remains at the same scale. You can kind of do this manually using the -cbox
command-line option, though--you just have to figure out the right values to use with -cbox. e.g.
k2pdfopt -cbox 0.1s,0.1s,0.8s,0.8s -mode fitpage myfile.pdf
... will remove 10% margins around each source page and turn that into the output page, but it will always take the same crop box on each page--it won't determine the optimum position of the crop box on each page to best surround the text, which I think is what you want. I'll add your idea to my wish list, but I can't promise anything right away. It would involve a significant amount of new logic.
Perhaps
Briss would be a better option for you since it lets you choose graphically?
