Crop PDF: trim the margins or part of a page

To crop a PDF, drag the frame over the page or type the margins in millimetres, and choose whether the crop applies to every page or only some. White margins can be found automatically. The PDF is cropped in this tab, without going to a server, and each page comes out the size of the crop.

The PDF never leaves your device

PDF and the page to crop

How much to remove from each side (mm)

Sides are those of the page as it appears on screen. No side ends up shorter than 1 cm.

Each page gets its own crop, up to where the content starts, with padding so the cut does not touch the letters. A blank page stays as it is.

Without this option, what is outside the crop disappears from the screen and from printing but stays inside the file. With it, each cropped page becomes an image of the crop at 200 dots per inch: its text can no longer be selected, links are removed and the file may get bigger.
