I used this tool to convert a PDF and use it in my Kindle keyboard.

For example: "Thisisasentencecomplete" instead of "This is a sentence complete". It is strange because if I copy and paste from Acrobat in PC the text does not get intermingled.

Questions:

-Is this normal when using k2optpdf? Can this problem be avoided? I executed the tool with the default options but I did other tests changing them with no luck.

-Can I do something to recover my notes? I have a lot of them and I would like to avoid having to separate manually all the words...

-I noticed that if I generate a new PDF file with Acrobat using the OCR then the notes are captured correctly in the Kindle. However, I did not find a way to recover my previous notes with the right word separation.

-I tried also with kinde-annotations tool with no luck.

Thank you for any advice
@ew3244 -- Welcome to MR forums. It is a concern to me that this is happening on such a popular device as the Kindle Keyboard (one that I don't have available for testing). Try using the -ocrsp option (or -ocrsp+) and see what you get (if you are using the MS Windows GUI, type -ocrsp into the "Additional Options" box). Is there any chance you can post the source PDF (or a couple pages of it)? If you'd rather not post it, you can PM it to me.
