A practical guide

Review the cropped area before sharing.

  1. Choose a PDF and select the page positions to crop.
  2. Set top, right, bottom and left margins using the available units.
  3. Create the copy and inspect all crop boundaries and nearby content.

Try this example

Adjust the visible margins around two report pages for a cleaner handout. Check that chart legends and footnotes remain visible.

Input and expected output for this task. Illustrative example.

Before you start: Cropping changes the visible area and does not securely remove hidden content. Use a proper redaction workflow for sensitive material.
