GOOD TO KNOW
Cropping changes the visible area of each page. Here’s what that means.
| QUESTION | ANSWER | TIP |
|---|---|---|
| Is the trimmed part deleted? | No. It’s hidden by the new page edge and stays in the file | Use Redact PDF to remove content for good |
| Do text and images stay sharp? | Yes. Nothing is redrawn | Check the edges in the preview first |
| Can each side be different? | Yes. Set left, top, right and bottom separately, from 0 to 45% | Equal values keep the page centered |
Each side can be trimmed by up to 45% of the page.
