Since you also have "Re-flow text" selected, you will not get native PDF output, and these options are of no benefit.

2. The 0.001 value in the "Smart line breaks" numeric entry field (leading to the -ws -0.001 above) is very small for the smart line breaks and would be unlikely to give a good result if actually used (it is only used if the heuristic "smart" algorithm fails to meet a certain decision threshold). I went back and ran your PDF source document from this post through k2pdfopt with both -ws -0.2 and -ws -0.001, and I got an identical result. There was no improvement by using -ws -0.001.
I use that settings because that's how converting my bangla books works properly. Check the differance between 0.200 vs 0.001




The other settings are pointless however. I just checked. I don't know which settings does what. Just checked/unchecked settings as I went along till I found a good one. It's not perfect however. But it's good enough.
