This slipped past me on softpedia so I was really happy to see Ghacks highlight it ... a cross-platform program for modifying DjVu and PDF files to fit on a reader (such as the Kindle)
Not portable, writes to HKCU\Environment

K2PdfOpt - modify PDFs to fit readers
Re: K2PdfOpt
Found another GUI for the program ... works with both PDF and DJVU
At this writing it doesn't look like much is happening with this program and it's a freeware front-end so I'll pass on testing it for the moment, but wanted to list here for reference.

Re: K2PdfOpt
Happy to see this program is still in development and looks like it's getting a lot of nice changes since my first test:

Re: K2PdfOpt
I actually use a process that I was thinking was a little outdated. Zsoft Uninstaller has a before-and-after registry watcher that works well.
