Frequently asked questions
What unit are the crop margins in?
Margins are measured in PDF points, where 72 points equal one inch (about 2.54 cm). A typical narrow margin to remove is between 18 and 36 points.
Does cropping delete the content outside the margins?
Cropping adjusts the visible page boundary. Most viewers treat the outside area as removed, but for guaranteed permanent removal, flatten or convert the file to images afterwards.
Will the crop apply to all pages?
Yes, the same margins are applied to every page in the document, which keeps mixed-size documents consistent after trimming.
