Gaps regarding of source resolution
I have two scanned PDFs (the same edition, design, fonts, etc.) created from pictures. One is created from 750 x 1182 source pictures, another one from 650 x 1025 source pictures. Converted PDF from the 750x1182 source has a lot of "gaps", the conversion of 650x1025 is almost excellent. When 750x1182 PDF is exported to images (using PDF XChange Viewer), these pictures resized to 650 x 1025, created a new PDF, and then converted, all is fine.

The target device is Huawei P20 lite mobile phone, with resolution 1080x2110 on 150 dpi (it is a visible PDF area in PocketBook reader application), additional options -om 0.2 -y -de 3.0 -gtc 0.2 (the problem exists without these options).

I can on some file-sharing site post the samples of source and resulting PDFs, and the screenshot of settings as well.

If you could post example pages from the two different source PDF files, that would help the most. It's hard to know what you mean by "a lot of gaps" vs. "almost excellent" without some visuals.

I'll upload them later. "A lot of gaps" means something like below:

650 x 1025

XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX

(the result is one page)


750x1182

XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX

(the result are two pages)

In most cases, the problem occurs when on the source is the end of one page and the beginning of the next page.

Also, somewhere exists a problem like this:

XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX

(P.S. the forum editor changes my "examples", the page with one row is the first one)

Please attach sample pages from the source PDF files. You can even use k2pdfopt to create the sample pages:

k2pdfopt -mode copy -n source.pdf -p 10-15 -o pages_10_to_15.pdf

I apologize for the delay, I was rather busy during past days. Here are the samples and the screenshot of settings.

A rather weird thing is that the conversion from 5 pages sample included in samples.zip is excellent. So, here is the whole original source, which caused the problems.

Maybe I should try with PDFs without cover and other parts, only two columns text?

The issue is that the 750x1182 version has bookmarks / a table of contents (toc) entry for every page (see attached). By default, k2pdfopt starts a new conversion page for each new page in the table of contents. To disable this, add -bp-- in the "additional options". I'm guessing your 650x1025 source file did not have bookmarks / toc.

This is why it is so important to post the source file. I could not have easily diagnosed this without seeing your source file.

LOL, it's funny how my assumption related to resolution was entirely wrong. Thanks for your explanation.

I have one more question related to -gtr settings, but, again, I must first prepare the examples.

k2pdfopt v2.53 released
K2pdfopt v2.53 is released.
This version improves OCR multithreading, adds better DJVU support (text layer extraction), adds CBZ support, and is compiled with the latest third party libraries e.g. Tesseract 4.1.1.

I found the best method was to first split into side-by-side pages and then to convert that result with autostraighten and OCR.

Code:
k2pdfopt book.pdf -mode crop -dpi 50 -fc- -cbox1 0.36in,0.75in,3.22in,4.32in -cbox1 5.35in,0.1in,5.07in,8.36in -cbox3 0.41in,3.79in,2.56in,3.08in -cbox4- 0.66in,0in,4.28in,8.73in -cbox4- 5.41in,0in,4.67in,8.73in -o booksplit.pdf

k2pdfopt booksplit.pdf  -p 2-,1 -as -mode fw -ls- -n- -w 3.39in -h 4.55in -dpi 165 -de 1.5 -ocr t -ocrlang ell -o final.pdf
The various -cbox commands crop out certain parts of page 1 and 3 and then all the rest of the pages are split. The second command fits to the page width, straightens, and adds OCR. I've attached the result.

Question
Nice tool for pdf docs, thanks! Anyway I have question, is it possible to remove empty lines without text from pdf and make it look like one block of text in ereader screen? For example
I saw a bird.

Bird was flying.

I mean remove an empty line between those two lines.
Thanks.

Yes. Please see the command-line usage page, the -vs and -vb options. E.g. the attached example was processed using:
k2pdfopt -vs 0.1 question.pdf

Hi,

Is there a way to pipe the output from another script into k2pdfopt? Or pipe the output into another script?

Not presently. You'll have to go through files rather than through stdin/stdout.
