Frequently Asked Questions
Does cropping delete the hidden content?+
PDF cropping adjusts the visible area (CropBox) but the underlying content outside the crop remains in the file. Use Redact if you need to permanently remove content.
Can I crop different pages differently?+
Yes. Cropping can be applied to all pages at once or fine-tuned per individual page.
What is a good use case for cropping?+
Common uses: removing scanner borders, stripping large white margins, or isolating a chart or figure from a larger page.
