k2pdfopt -m .11in,.04in,.14in,.6in source.pdf

Or, in the GUI, which you can run in Wine, set the crop margins (see attached).
I did give it a try with the above options and agree that it is producing a good, if not totally optimal version. I am a bit surprised at the growth in size, from less than 8mb to over 25mb, is there a way to address that?

Regarding further cropping, it appears from inspecting the original that although there is a consistent footer, except where I have inserted blanks to keep the even/odd pages correct, the header area that I crop out manually only appears at the beginning of articles. Thus the PDF pages are either first page of an article, subsequent pages of an article or inserted blanks.

Is the tool up to such a detailed classification of pages? If so, perhaps this can be further cleaned up.

I also notice that the table of contents got a bit mangled, but other than that a casual check seems to show a good job done on articles themselves.

Thank you for your assistance with this.
