About Crop PDF
Enter how much to trim from each side, in millimetres, and the same crop is applied to every page. It removes wide white margins, scanner borders or printer marks.
Cropping changes the visible area of each page. Content outside the crop is hidden rather than deleted, so text and images inside stay sharp.
Typical margins to trim
| Situation | Try |
|---|---|
| Wide white margins on a report | 15–20 mm on every side |
| Scanner border or shadow on one edge | 5–10 mm on that side only |
| Printer crop marks around the page | 10–15 mm on every side |
Good to know
Every page gets the same crop, so check a page with the smallest margins before you choose. If a page would become too small, reduce the values and try again.

Questions
Is the cropped content deleted?
No. It is hidden outside the new page edges. Someone with PDF editing software could still reveal it, so don’t use cropping to remove sensitive content.
Can I crop pages differently?
Not at the moment. The same margins are applied to every page.
How much is 10 mm?
About 0.4 inches. A4 pages are 210 × 297 mm and US Letter pages about 216 × 279 mm.
