Hi,
Thank you very much for this great application. It is the best tool for converting that I have ever used before. It made it possible to read PDF books on my Kindle. But I still have some minor issues. I tried to find answers in that thread but was unsuccessful. I use the next command for converting: k2pdfopt %f -w 1236 -h 1648 -c -wrap+ -hy- -vb -2 -col 1 -o %%s_p.pdf Could someone help me with that, please? 1. Output file size was significantly increased 5 Mb -> 117.8 Mb 2. Part of the letters moved to the next page. (see 2.png) 3. The gap between words is different if that word is from the end of the line in the original document.See 3_1.png (original document) 3_2.png (output document after wrapping) The most important thing for me is decreasing the file size, but I can do nothing. I appreciate any help you can provide. Last edited by pdurrant; 11-13-2024 at 05:00 AM. Reason: Moved images to attachments, as too wide (>600pixels) otherwise |

Hello again.
I played a bit with arguments and results. So I have got answers to some questions and will put them here: 1. The output file is the image. So I can use greyscale images with 4 bits (the maximum that my reader supports). Use the exact device resolution and DPI. And probably compression. 2. -om 0.03 fixed the issue. 3. Still can do nothing with that. Have a good day. |

First of all, thanks for your answer. And yes, I have read the whole forum, wiki, and manual but did not find an answer to my third point. Could you please point me to the post or parameter I should use to fix issue #3. Many thanks for considering my request. |

As you figured out, the output size for bitmapped text re-flow is dominated by the resolution that you choose for the output page along with how many gray levels. If you can avoid text re-flow, you can likely reduce the size much further.
Where k2pdfopt breaks lines is controlled by the -gtr option. Read up on that option and you can try adjusting it. Word spacing is probably most controlled by the output justification -- the -j option. |

Hello.
Thanks for your patience with newcomers. For file size, I prefer a bigger size to landscape mode. So I set the optimal resolution, dpi, and color depth to reach the optimal file size. Quote:
In general, the text looks great, but some lines have a lot of space at the end. At the same time, other pages look pretty good. And about the gap between words on the same line that can be quite different. Looks like it was calculated before re-flowing the text. [IMG]1.png[/IMG] But finally, it's not a big deal. It's awesome that I got the possibility to read PDF files with my reader. I have been searching for that many years. Thanks again. |

You could also try adjusting the -ws (word spacing) value.

A lot of game books, and comics, have a mix of black text on light backgrounds and light text on black backgrounds.
k2pdfopt tends to make the black text bolder, but the light text thinner, and sometimes breaks it up. I've experimented with gamma and the erosion filter; is there another option to make both dark and light text reasonably bold? |
