when pdflrf is run without options it just resizes the page and splits it. This usually ends up with the 2nd half of the split page having a large blank area. You can avoid this by using the '-r' option, which runs together the pages.
It also rotates to landscape mode by default (-90 rotation), which I personally don't like, so I use "--rotation=0" to keep it portrait mode.
Here's my typical command:
pdflrf -rs --rotation=0 -a "author name" -t "book title" -i "input.pdf" -o "output.lrf"
If the print is really small then I remove the "--rotation=0" option and let it use landscape.
The "-rs" options run together the pages and "smartcut" at blank lines, that should do away with your blank page issues.
Swell program, hope this helps with your usage.
Cheers,
Lee
PS, just noticed the GPL violation notice. pdfread.py is an alternative, though the images don't seem as crisp.

To be specific, it seems as if to fit the text the pages are now divided with a single page of original text flowing onto a page and one third. So that equals two page turns for each original page. As I am really impatient (I have a lot of trouble with page turns, although after using the program it is much shorter than with regular pdf files) so can someone tell me whether it is possible to combine the text?
