Therefore, it takes the picture + text around it as an image (see page 3 in document '2.pdf' attached). This, besides leaving this text small, messes up the whole order of the text, as you can see in the document '3 (1 marked).pdf' from the attached files.
Do you have any idea how I could manage to get around this problem?
Thank you again! This kind of programs solving little and sometimes hard but very annoying issues --like yours-- make my life easier and happier

k2pdfopt doesn't do well with cases like this. About the closest I could get without really cheating was this:
k2pdfopt -ch 1 -col 4 -cg .05 -cgr .5 -crgh .01 -comax .3 -evl 2 -sm 1.pdf
...but it still has things out of order. Of course, if you let me cheat, then I can put cropboxes around each part, but that's pretty labor intensive:
k2pdfopt -cbox .55in,.2in,4.23in,1.31in -cbox .55in,1.5in,2.41in,1.82in -cbox .55in,3.31in,1.71in,3.95in -cbox .55in,7.25in,2.38in,3.23in -cbox 2.92in,1.53in,2.42in,1.82in -cbox 2.25in,3.39in,3.69in,3.76in -cbox 2.92in,7.22in,2.39in,3.25in -cbox 5.37in,1.52in,2.33in,1.79in -cbox 5.94in,3.28in,1.75in,3.98in -cbox 5.34in,7.25in,2.36in,3.27in -fc- -sm 1.pdf
I'll try to think about ways I could get k2pdfopt to handle cases like this better. I may even have some options in there to help with this, but I'm not remembering...
