Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the cropped content actually deleted?

No, the content is hidden by changing the PDF's view box, not permanently deleted. Some PDF viewers may allow users to revert the crop.

Can I set different crop areas for different pages?

This tool is designed to apply a single, uniform crop area to either one page or all pages in the document for consistency.

Does cropping affect text selection or links?

The page content remains in the file, but its crop-box entries are changed. Underlying text and links remain intact but may fall outside the new visible area.

Background

Adjusting PDF Page Layout

Adjust the visible area of your PDF pages by setting a crop box visually. This is useful for removing unwanted margins or focusing on specific content.

  • Crop a PDF to improve its layout and readability. Remove large white margins to make content fill the screen, ideal for smaller devices.
  • Remove distracting elements like headers, footers, or page numbers. Help your audience focus on the main content in a presentation or report.
