When to use this tool

Select the pages and set the crop margins or rectangle using the available controls. Preview carefully before exporting.

A practical example

Trim a wide white border from a scanned document while keeping all handwritten notes.

Check the exported result

Check page edges, headers and footers on each selected page.

Common problems and limits

Cropping changes the visible page area; content outside that area may remain recoverable. Do not use crop as secure redaction.

Choose the next step

Redact PDF is intended for removing selected sensitive content.
