At some point I hope to make more instructional videos featuring the Windows GUI. There are now two options that can split out a double-paged scan into separate pages: 1. the -grid option, and 2. the -cbox option. For usage, see this page.

Is it possibile that some of this Visual are causing some issues with the GUI? because I can't see it anymore.

I don't understand your statement. What exactly can you not see anymore? Does the GUI not come up when you double-click the Windows icon? Can you maybe post a screenshot?

Yes, I can see the taskbar icon and the process through the task manager. But no GUI screen.

I'm not sure how to help you. I don't even know what the graphic you included with your original post means (with all the "Microsoft Visual C++..." bars)...? What application is that from? Can anybody else offer any clues? Can you please say what exact OS and which flavor (64-bit, 32-bit, etc.) of k2pdfopt you are running? Does an older version of k2pdfopt work? Is anybody else experiencing anything like this?

Hi Willus,

How to handle Chinese or Japanese text that the layout is vertically formatting (i.e. the text read from top to left then next line is on the left)?

I am sure this question was asked before, please bear with me that I cannot find where it was mentioned. Many thanks.

Possibly your antivirus software is interfering with k2pdfopt launching? I've had this happen on newly compiled programs with Symantec where I've had to tell it to ignore a particular program. You might try temporarily disabling your antivirus software.

Actually, I'm not sure this has been asked. It's no trouble either way. Try using -mode 2col and -r (right-to-left). Screenshot for GUI config attached.

Many Thanks Willus. I will try it out.

Your program is great, thanks for developing it!!

I realized recently that there was no wiki page for this product in our wiki. I created one!

Good stuff. I've already made some edits. Thank you, Dale.

Hi Willus!

Thank you very much for your effort making your program, even for free. It's a magnificent idea!

Anyway, I don't know why but I can't make it work correctly for a Kindle PaperWhite. The new optimised pdf looks fine in the computer after the program conversion (choosing Kindle PaperWhite as the device within your program; last version from November), but when I try to read it in my device, it's at low resolution and with the right margin distorted. Unfortunately, it makes it unreadable. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you very much in advance for the feedback!

Cheers and keep up the good work

P.S: I got the same error with the previous version (September, if I'm not mistaken).

@jdofo -- It's difficult to tell what's going wrong for you. Could you please post an example of (1) a PDF you are trying to convert (the source file), (2) the converted file, (3) a photo of how it looks on your KPW, and (4) any special options you are using for the conversion? If you don't want to post these things publically, you can send me a private message.

This is a minor bug fix for the MS Windows GUI only. See the web site for details.
