Hi. I appreciate the effort that has been put into making this software. However, I have been having a bit of trouble using k2pdfopt.
I've read that it works quite well with native pdf's. However, I have a couple of scanned pdf's that I would like to read on my e-book reader. The scans were not very clean, but OCR has been applied, and the text is selectable; but when I try and use k2pdfopt, it processes each page as single image blocks without re-flowing the text, detecting the columns, or doing anything, really, except for resizing the blocks to the size specified.
command line options are as follows:
-dev kpw -wrap+ -as -rt auto+ -col 4 -h 1014 -w 758
I've also tried experimenting with -ch, -cgr, and -crgh options to get the program to detect the columns, but haven't had any luck.

PS. funny that I stumbled upon a solution right before I sent this question. There's a long vertical line all along the left margin -- from the spine of the book -- and it would seem that that was the cause of the problem. -evl 1 didn't seem to get rid of the line, but cropping the margin by 0.27 in. seemed to do the trick. New command line options are as follows:
-dev kpw -wrap+ -as -rt auto+ -col 3 -h 1014 -w 758 -ml 0.27
Posting this anyway in case anyone else has the same problem. Would appreciate any suggestions for fine-tuning it though.
