How to: step-by-step

  1. Select the PDF.
  2. Enter the top, bottom, left and right crop amounts.
  3. Apply the crop to the document.
  4. Download and inspect page edges, especially headers, footers and page numbers.

Tips for better results

  • Start with small amounts and retain the uncropped source.
  • Check pages with different layouts before applying a common crop.

Common pitfalls

  • Cropping may hide content rather than securely remove it.
  • Excessive margins can cut off important text.

Before you finish

Do not use cropping to redact confidential information. Hidden content can remain in the PDF.
