Willus: I went crazy yesterday to find a way to convert some documents I need to read for work for my new Sony PRS-T1 in a PDF readable way... I am still useless at Calibre and want them in there fast. No solution would work, your little gem... a charm!
So a big THANKS!! from me for solving my problem. I know the answer is somewhere in the forum, but do you know why the highlighting function on my device does not work, only the handwriting on the page? I will keep on looking but again, thanks for your little masterpiece. |

The app needs to convert the pages into images in order to do this process. Therefore you need to do an OCR (with ABBYY, etc) on the output file to be able to highlight, etc.

Why highlighting doesn't work
Thomass is correct that k2pdfopt converts to images, so no highlighting can be done. I am hoping to add OCR capability to k2pdfopt soon (via Google's Tesseract engine). I have a test version working on English text. I haven't been able to find as much programming time as I've wanted to this summer, but eventually I'll get it released.

Arabic PDF on Kobo
Colateral--sorry I didn't see this until now. You need to find a way to post or get me a sample of your source file. Maybe if it's only one or two pages that should be enough and hopefully won't offend the copyright police(?). Sorry for your trouble.

![]() Did you consider releasing your program as open source software? Mupdf and it's thirdparty libraries easily compile for ARM (android, and GCC/X11 based). So if you have no time (or reason) to port it, please let others try to port/use it. Btw: You know that Mupdf is not BSD-licensed but GPL (and you link statically)? |

Hello,
I am new to this software which I just discovered. I have been playing around with it but I do not get proper results. Thus I wondered I should deal with options and its parameters but I do not know how. My goal is very simple, I just want to read novels I have scanned using my kindle 2. So the structure of the document is very simple and similar along the pages. Could you please tell me the options I should use to get a good pdf for my kindle? I give you a pdf sample of first 10 pages of a book I wanted to convert. http://www.mediafire.com/?c5psm6s2arkn476 Thanks in advance for your advice. |

Options for scanned book
Quote:
-m .05 -as -ws .2 -col 1 -m .05 to clip the margins less, -as to autostraighten each page, -ws .2 will separate words more consistently for your file, and -col 1 since the source is not multicolumn. K2pdfopt still has a little trouble because the lines of text are slightly distorted (curved), but mostly the output looks very readable to me. If you want the output text larger or smaller, add -odpi XXX where XXX is larger or smaller than the default of 167, respectively. Last edited by willus; 08-23-2012 at 09:30 PM. |

I have exactly typed: k2pdfopt *.djvu -m 0.05 -as- -ws 0.2 -col 1 And it says invalid entry. I have checked examples and I think I did it right but there must be sth wrong. Could you help? Thanks again. |

k2pdfopt -m 0.05 -as -ws 0.2 -col 1 *.djvu And if that doesn't work, try it on a single file first. Note that whitespace and number/position of "-" are significant. |

I have tried this way and does not work. Even I have used less options. Also with a single file. I have also changed 0.05 by 0,05, but nothing. But if I use no options, it works. |
