Package request: k2pdfopt

[VR-25]

K2pdfopt optimizes PDF/DJVU files for mobile e-readers (e.g. the Kindle) and smartphones. It works well on multi-column PDF/DJVU files and can re-flow text even on scanned PDF files. It can also be used as a general PDF copying/ cropping/re-sizing/OCR-ing manipulation tool. It can generate native or bitmapped PDF output, with an optional OCR layer.

I can't download because I use Android 5.  That was sad.  I was expecting this package. :(

Thank you!

Important Info

k2pdfopt CLI (all archs) won't detect all pages from certain PDFs.
Either something is missing or these PDFs are somewhat broken.

I couldn't find any public issue tracker to report this to the original developer.

Anyway, a good solution I found is rebuilding the PDFs without table of contents. I've been doing that on Android with PDF Utilities. Just add a blank page and you'll be good to go.

@dickyharper support for Android 5-6 is deprecated, we'll need to build the package ourselves.
