Though looking at it now, I see this help page needs some updating. The latest version uses Tesseract 4.0 and can use either Tesseract 3 or 4 training files (I recommend the v4 training files). See also the command-line help page (search for “Tesseract”). Also, in the GUI “help” menu, select “Tesseract Training File Info”. Last edited by willus; 02-13-2020 at 09:20 AM. |

Hello there!
I am trying to find the optimal options for k2pdfopt for my Kindle Paperwhite 2, unfortunately I can't.. The pdf is attached, the language is Greek and after some search, I have used the following options: -mode fp -dev kp2. Can you please help me? Thank you very much for your time! |

Option 1: k2pdfopt -mode fw -ls- -dev kp2 myfile.pdf If the text is too small for you, then: Option 2: k2pdfopt -dev kp2 myfile.pdf |

Yes, the text was too small, the 2nd option helped me, even though the letters are somehow "dirty" now, and the chapters don't start from a new page, or the header/footer seem to be put in the middle of the page (screenshots attached). But it's ok, it is more than readable, thank you very much dear willus! Your program rocks and you're so helpful! Congratulations! |

k2pdfopt -dev kp2 -m 0.29in,0.73in,0.32in,0.33in nesbo.pdf The "dirty" look is not really the fault of k2pdfopt. Your source file, if you magnify it enough, has a very pixelated look to it. |

Very hard to use.
So slow to preview the result on good PCs. I can not get a correct result for a simple two-column book. |

Hello, I am very new to this app but it helped do what I expected, almost. Please do not mind if I am asking stupid question.
As far as I understand, text reflow cannot be done together with native pdf, am I right? I am curious why they cannot be done together. Because I am converting a book which is mostly regularly formatted text, converting it to bitmap does seem silly and a very big file indeed. Is there any way I can do to do the text reflow while keeping a small file size? |

You need to read PDF#Reflow. You should also know that there are two types of PDF documents. One has text while the other has images of text. A PDF that has image of text must use an OCR to extract the text from an image.

If you have access to MS Word, I recommend you try loading your PDF into Word. See my PDF conversion tips. Last edited by willus; 03-07-2020 at 01:50 PM. |

I wish I saw your application before, it is really unique of its kind (at least I have not yet found anything better).
Actually, I had a similar idea about a two years ago - to re-flow wide scanned documents on a glyph level to fit into mobile screen, so spent some time with my friend writing an android application. The result we got is working fine but with some limitations - it could not recognize complex formulas or multi-column layout. Here is a good page sample: https://slack-files.com/T9YDZ38JY-FUG1J0AKA-40bce696bf Here is a sample of original page which failed to re-flow properly - with glyphs recoginzed - https://glyphs.flum.app/image?id=448&mode=glyphs. To recognize glyphs we are using OpenCV library and it mostly works fine but it is hard to get formulas to be recognized as a single image. Your application is working much better with them so I wonder what algorithm you are using for that? |

Settings for the new paperwhite
What settings (screen size,font,margins.etc) should i use for the paperwhite 10th edition? I tried using the paperwhite 4 prest but the font was too big (like the bottom of the title page spilled over to the next page.
