Thanks for the tip.

As expected, the filesize is much bigger (6x).

FWIW, my e-reader offers a few settings when reading PDFs, one of them being a "Reflow text" option: The issue I had (some pages, with basic text, being a bit messy) occurs when I enable this option.

OTOH, with the "bitmapped file" (-mode fw -ls- -n-):
"Reflow text" enabled: The layout has even more issues than the native PDF (without -n-)
"Reflow text" disabled: Better, although I'll need to add a bit more margins because they're too close from the edge.

I'm surprised bitmaps can be reflowed at all, since they're just pictures, unlike native PDFs.

Out of curiosity, why does this layout issue occurs with some pages in native PDF, with pages that only contain text? I would have expected this issue with more complicated layout (tables, insets, etc.)
