The OCR results seemed pretty good judging by some random searches I tried. I would like to OCR all of the PDFs I created if I could keep them close to the original file size.

Correct--at this time it is not possible for k2pdfopt to just add a text layer but keep the original image formats (I mentioned that in my previous post in this thread). I hope to add that capability at some point (I'm not entirely sure how to code it yet). You can probably get that 10x down to a more reasonable number with strategic selection of the output dpi and number of bits per pixel.
Alternatively, there's a way to use cpdf to move a text layer from one PDF into another, but I don't have access to how I did that until tomorrow. I'll post the solution then.
