I have another question.

The original PDF is an image-only file — meaning: In SumatraPDF, I can't select text with the mouse.

After running that original file through k2, the output on my e-reader is fine.

However, I'm having a problem with inputs that I ran through Abbyy Fine Reader:
- Saved as "searchable" PDF: The output from k2 inserts carriage returns about half-way through each line
- Saved as "image" PDF: I only get empty pages.

I zipped a sample of each file (original, searchable, image). I used the following commands:

Code:

#mt to remove header
#good
k2pdfopt.exe -w 758 -h 1024 -dpi 213 -mode fw -ls- -mt 1.02 -fc- input.original.pdf
#wrong carriage returns
k2pdfopt.exe -w 758 -h 1024 -dpi 213 -mode fw -ls- -mt 1.02 -fc- input.OCR.searchable.pdf
#only empty pages
k2pdfopt.exe -w 758 -h 1024 -dpi 213 -mode fw -ls- -mt 1.02 -fc- input.OCR.image.pdf

Thank you.
