I have attached the one out of eighteen articles that for some reason is not being properly processed. I have tried a few minor tweaks, but I still get garbled output from k2pdfopt for this article.

Please help me get this one sorted out.

It's good when debugging to run the -sm (show markings) option to see how k2pdfopt is cutting up your PDF. In this case, the -er 1 is doing you in--it is exacerbating a little mark between the columns on page 3, thereby preventing k2pdfopt from correctly finding the two columns. If you remove -er 1, it parses your document nicely.
