If you want to try it on just a few pages first, add something like:

-p 1-40

Example conversion of pages 30-39 is attached.
Wow, this looks really great, exactly what I had in mind! Awesome! One question though, the file you created has the page breaks at different places than the original, which is astonishing. What is the reason for this?

And one more question, since I like to highlight things in my PDFs, is the text layer the same as before, or does k2pdfopt do its own OCR?

All the best,
