Crop PDF
Wide margins and scanned borders waste space on the page. Set how many points to trim from each side, watch the live preview of page one, and download a cropped PDF that reads cleaner on screen and prints tighter.
Honest note: Cropping changes the visible page area (CropBox) — the hidden content outside the crop area is not deleted from the file, it is just no longer shown or printed. 72 points = 1 inch, and a normal A4 page is 595 × 842 points.

Tips
- Preview page one carefully - the same margins apply to every page you selected.
- Small trims (10-20 points) usually remove scanner shadows without cutting text.
- Cropping does not shrink the file; the hidden content is still inside the PDF.
- Download a copy with a new name so the original stays untouched.
