Please elaborate on "does not work".

k2pdfopt command-line tips

Thanks again.
1. There should not be a hyphen after -as (-as- is incorrect). But that shouldn't be causing the "Invalid entry."

2. Try adding -ui- to the command line so that the user input prompting is turned off, e.g.

k2pdfopt -m 0.05 -as -ws 0.2 -col 1 -ui- *.djvu

3. If that doesn't work, and you are running in Linux, try putting *.djvu in double quotes, e.g. "*.djvu".

4. FYI, arguments before or after file names on the command-line doesn't matter. k2pdfopt scans the entire command line for option flags first and then goes back and does all of the files with the specified options.

Also: Are you typing the options as part of the command line (which is what I intend) or are you typing them into the user input menu/prompt from k2pdfopt (not intended and won't work)?

K2pdfopt source

Therefore, converting a research paper during lunch seams plausible


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)?
My next release will include source code. Hopefully it will be soon.

Hello. Sorry for not answering, I was off.

I am in windows 7. I have tried your proposal using -ui but it keeps on saying "Invalid entry".

I captured the screen for you.

Remove the "k2pdfopt" from the input line.
It is not one of the "option above" list.

Sorry, but I also removed k2pdfopt and got the same error.

Now try it without specifing a wildcard file name.
I.E: specify the actual name of a single file.
(and hope the author gets the hint from this thread to improve his error message.)

Already done, with pdf and djvu specific files, but same message.

Dead link. Message says "file deleted".

EDIT: Now it works again. That is odd. Was it being replaced when I first tried to view it?

Next suggestion:
Try the application in command line mode rather than in the inter-active mode you have been using.

Interactive menu vs. command line

JJMM--you are typing things into the interactive menu that I have intended to be used on the command line. They are not the same thing. It might be good if you looked at the help pages on how to customize k2pdfopt. Based on the menu prompt in your screen shots, it looks like you've already specified a .djvu file (by dragging it over to the k2pdfopt icon?), so just type this at the interactive prompt:

m <enter>
.05 <enter>
a <enter>
y <enter>
ws <enter>
.2 <enter>
co <enter>
1 <enter>
<enter>

(Don't literally type "<enter>". Just press the <enter> key.)

That will set all the options correctly (margins, auto-straighten, word spacing, and column detection) and then start the conversion. You may have to use commas instead of periods for the decimal points if you are in Europe. Not sure.

Maybe you would find the Windows GUI helpful?

Hello, How do you use application in command line mode?

Sorry, in instructions I only saw drag and drop method.

Thanks for your patience and help.

This way it works. Periods were good also here in Europe.

In order to avoid typing, I read this parameters could be typed under properties category of application. Is it right for this interactive method?

Thanks again.

If you want to use the same options over and over again, there are a couple of ways to do it, as described in my help pages: 1. using a shortcut, and 2. using an environment variable. In these cases, you want to use the command-line format: -m .05 -as -ws .2 -co 1
