Thanks! just tried this out, and it seems to work pretty well.

I'm having some trouble using the margin option -m to strip the vertical sidebar text from an arXiv paper, would you happen to have a solution to that problem that doesn't involve a lot of manual intervention? Using '-m 0.5in' handles the vertical text, but then the body text isn't coming out quite right...

Sorry, not at the moment. I figured out those parameters after tweaking things a bit. You might want to start the conversion with just the name of the file, and use the interactive prompt to try out various parameters.
