What is Crop PDF Pages?

Hide unwanted page edges by setting the CropBox lower-left coordinate, width and height. A CropBox only changes the viewing region; original content may still be present in the PDF, so never use this tool as secure redaction.

How to Use

Choose a PDF and inspect its first-page dimensions
Enter lower-left x/y and crop width/height in points
Create and check the visible result in a PDF reader
